New Years Day, 2018

2 Corinthians 3:6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

God has made us good enough to go out and tell people of the good news of the gospel! God has made us good enough to join Him in heaven!

Christ came to make sure we could join Him in heaven by giving us a perfect sacrifice for our sin debt to God!

None of this is so just because it is written down. None of this is so just because it is a history lesson.

Christ gave us the Holy Spirit to guide and keep us; to defend us and to uphold us. It is through the Spirit we have this new beginning today!

Acts 17:26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

Many people throughout history have tried to get their lives “enhanced” through telling stories or getting stories told of their accomplishments – not all successfully!

History has a way of finding people out and bringing the truth out just when people least expect it.

God has lived in truth and with truth always; Christ was born into truth and lived His life proving what God had said.

Isn’t it time we put away the old stories and listened to the truth – make a difference this year!

Genesis 5:2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” when they were created.

Right from the beginning the Jews have been taught to remember their beginnings and to retell this story to all who are willing to listen.

This is how faithful they have been – showing a lineage of many thousands of years. Moses retold the story from Adam to Noah just as the apostles remembered it too.

Give God the glory for all He has managed to do this year, despite us!

Luke 3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

It is amazing to look at the timelines recorded in history showing the lineage of Mary and Joseph; to show just how God planned things all along!

It was not by accident things happened the way they did; it is not a chance happening we live on this planet! God created us!

The Jews are proud of their lineage because it shows them and us just how important we are – don’t let the end of year blues take anything away from you – you are a child of God!
