A NEW YEAR HAS ARRIVED! And like the year before it, this new 365
days has come with much anticipation. Many people begin January 1
with goals, hopes, dreams, and perhaps even a plan of action for
all that they would like to accomplish. The possibilities for a new
year's list of resolutions are endless. Some of the most common
include exercise routines, healthier eating, progress at work, and
quality time spent with family. Life goals and resolutions can be a
great way to begin a year, so long as a healthy balance is
maintained. For Christians, the start of a new year arrives with
reminders afresh of the glorious promises that God has made to his
people through the Bible. For Christians--those who have repented
of their sin and received Jesus Christ as their Savior--a new year
is a chance for renewed commitments to seek after God and to share
the good news of Jesus. The Scriptures below are foundational
truths that Christians believe. They are beacons of hope, not only
for a new year but also for an eternal future with God. If you have
not yet placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, then these
Scriptures bring great news. The gospel of Jesus is that his birth,
life, death on a cross, and resurrection to heaven from the grave
deliver eternal life to those who turn away from sin and receive
Jesus as their Savior. Make this new year the start of an
eternity-changing journey toward becoming a child of God! Gospel
Scriptures for a New Year "For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God. . . . The wages of sin is death, but the free
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans
3:23; 6:23) "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I
also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the
Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) Jesus
said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me." (John 14:6) "And you were dead in
your trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the
course of this world. . . . But God, being rich in mercy, because
of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in
our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you
have been saved." (Ephesians 2:1, 2; 2:4, 5) "When the goodness and
loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not
because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his
own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the
Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ
our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become
heirs according to the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:4-7) The
Apostle Paul wrote, "The saying is trustworthy and deserving of
full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners, of whom I am the foremost." (1 Timothy 1:15) "[Jesus]
committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he
was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did
not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to [God] who judges
justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we
might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have
been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now
returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls." (1 Peter
2:22-25) The Light of the Gospel Let these Scriptures sink deep
into your hearts. Memorize them. Share them with your friends and
family. The gospel--or good news--of Jesus Christ is a bright light
to an often-dark world. If you believe the truths that you've just
read, it is only fitting that you would want to share the rich hope
of the gospel, especially at the beginning of a new year. If you
have read these words of good news as an unbeliever, consider
taking a first step of faith in Jesus Christ by praying the
following: Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is your
Son, and that he died on the cross to save me from my sin. I
believe that he rose again to life, and that he invites me to live
forever with him in heaven as part of your family. Because of what
Jesus has done, I ask you to forgive me of my sin and give me
eternal life. Help me in a way that pleases and honors you. Amen.
