“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.” Psalm 119:59-60
There are three things that we should consider in entering the New Year:
Reflection. “I thought on my ways…” We need to think, not just on 2018 in itself or even 2019, but we should turn our thoughts to ourselves and our relationship to God. Are you saved born again?
Testimony. “I…turned my feet…” This is repentance. We need to turn our backs upon sin and our faces toward God.
Regeneration. “I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.” This is the new birth. The new life shows itself in a desire to keep God’s Word.
May we enter the New Year knowing for sure that we are saved. If you are not sure, then make sure you have received the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart and believe God’s Word. “
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 A NEW WAY FOR 2019
