With a new year come new resolutions, new commitments and new changes. People like to ask what your New Year’s resolution is. Almost everyone makes one, but few ever keep the new changes in their life. However, when you become a Christian, the old passes away and you become a new creation. With this newness of life comes a lot of new things including a new way of living. You become a new person from the inside out. This new year, I want to encourage you to return to that first love you had when all things became new. Find new ways to serve, new ways to worship and new ways to grow in Christ.
Here are some Bible verses on becoming a new person:
1. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2 NLT
2. Night’s darkness is dissolving away as a new day of destiny dawns. So we must once and for all strip away what is done in the shadows of darkness, removing it like filthy clothes. And once and for all we clothe ourselves with the radiance of light as our weapon.
Romans 13:12 TPT
3. Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And praise Him in the congregation of His godly ones (believers).
Psalms 149:1 AMP
4. So get rid of your old self, which made you live as you used to—the old self that was being destroyed by its deceitful desires. Your hearts and minds must be made completely new, and you must put on the new self, which is created in God’s likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.
Ephesians 4:22-24 GNT
5. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.
Mark 2:22 NLT
