Resolutions For A “New You”
(Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT) “But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?…”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
(Revelation 21:5 NLT) And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!”…
(Colossians 3:9-10 NLT) Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
My “New You” Resolutions
1. I resolve to
(Genesis 1:1) In the beginning God…
(Exodus 20:1-3) And God spoke all these words: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.”
(Acts 3:19) Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
Serving
Read and study
Spend time in
(Deuteronomy 14:23 LB) …The purpose of tithing is to teach you to always put God in first place in your life.
(Romans 12:2 MSG) …Fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
2. I resolve to develop
(Acts 2:44 LB) All the believers met together constantly and shared everything with each other.
3. I resolve to fulfill
(Ephesians 2:10 NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
(Philippians 3:12) Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
(Psalm 90:12 LB) Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should.
(Psalm 39:4-5 NLT) Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered—how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.
