Bite of Life
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new. (KJV)
Resolution – fixed determination;
firmness of purpose (the act)
Resolute – determined; firm; as a
resolute will
-
Adv. steady, steadfast, inflexible,
constant
-
Ant. (or opposite) indecisive,
flexible
Many today are starting out what is
called the ‘new year’ in the old; without true strength to overcome the old
man. Yeah, they may start out determined for a season, but when they begin
to grow weary (become indecisive, flexible and start to compromise) the old
man will soon return even stronger than before and overcome their best
intentions. (James 1:8)
Few are starting out this new day that
the Lord has made having remained in the new man, and can truly rejoice and
be glad in it.
There is only one way to become new and
to remain walking in the newness of life each and every day, including
today, and that is in Christ. In Christ is where all things become new, and
where there is wisdom and power to overcome the old man, the old ways and
thoughts that keep one in bondage to the lower nature.
Remember dear brethren…in Christ is where
you will find a fixed determination, a firmness of purpose that will allow
you to do all things uprightly, whole heartedly, and well pleasing in our
Father’s sight.
It is a new day, a new year, in Christ.
God bless.
