A Truly Happy New Year!
There were New Year’s nights when I slept drunk and woke up with hangovers to begin another year in regret and shame over my sins under the direction and control of demons. Many spent last night the same way. From my bedroom last night, I could hear the sounds from the bars in my neighborhood where I would have been counted a few years back. I kept wondering what if Jesus came back last night to find many in bars drunk and caught up in all manner of lusts and licentiousness? May the Lord have mercy on the captives of Satan.
But I spent the night in my bed long before midnight in peace and rest and quietness and woke up without regrets in the arms of my savior. All by the mercies of the Lord Jesus, who delivered me from the vain life I once lived as a slave to Satan and rescued me by his marvelous grace and tender mercies. I owe Jesus so much. That I am not in hell today is by his great mercies and love only. He truly has been merciful to me, who once was the worst of sinners. I wasted myself, but he redeemed me. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Brethren, even to begin a new year born again is a great miracle for which we must always thank the Lord. That we are alive and have one more chance to live for him and prepare for heaven is a great gift. Let’s commit all our days to him and the keeping of our souls to him as to a faithful creator.
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU. But you were WASHED, but you were SANCTIFIED, but you were JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
SUCH WERE SOME OF US, but he made us new! I was guilty of everything listed in that scripture above, but I am not counted in that number anymore. Glory to the Lord Jesus forever!

Are you born again? Do you have eternal life?
Have you given your life to Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior? He loves us so much that he, our creator, left heaven and came to earth, dying for us on the cross, taking our sins upon him so that we may be forgiven and receive his righteousness. He conquered death by rising from the dead and made a way for us who were dead in sin to be reconciled back to the Father (God). What’s more, he has prepared a wonderful home for us in heaven, where those who love him and obey him will spend eternity with him.
