Jesus Wants A Relationship with You
April 30, 2010
Truth: The way to God has always been lined with good intentions, rules and a code of conduct that would qualify you to be in His presence. But the life and work of Jesus changed that. He took the initiative to start a relationship with you! When you respond to His love and receive the forgiveness for all the wrong you have done, then God will make you brand new.
Scripture: “The Jewish law had many commands and rules, but Christ ended the law. His purpose was to make the two groups of people become one new people in Him and in this way make peace.” Ephesians 2:15 (NCV)
Prayer: Eternal Father, Thank You for ending the road of rules and regulations that always resulted in death. You have brought those who had religion together with those of us who new nothing and made us brand new through the power of Your Son Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God has the Power to Transform You
April 29, 2010
Truth: God’s best for you is not just a minor adjustment or slight personal improvement. He desires to totally and completely replace the sadness and darkness of your heart with a brand new you that good, holy and that honors Him.
Scripture: “But you were taught to be made new in your hearts, to become a new person. That new person is made to be like God – made to be truly good and holy.” Ephesians 4:23-24 (NCV)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are filled with goodness and grace, mercy and truth. Help me today to receive a brand new, fresh start by yielding my mind and heart to You. I ask You to reign in my heart and transform me into something good and holy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Jesus is the Way to God
April 28, 2010
Truth: Many people like to include or even add rules and rituals to the simple and powerful faith that God offers each of us. These needless traditions form a heavy weight on our shoulders that make it difficult to walk down God’s path of new life. But Jesus’ way is simple.
Scripture: “It is not important if a man is circumcised or uncircumcised. The important thing is being the new people God made.” Galatians 6:15 (NCV)
Prayer: Loving and Faithful God. Thank You for providing a simple and guaranteed way into Your presence. We no longer need to follow certain rituals, eat specific foods or dress and act a certain way to experience You. Help me to walk in the newness of life that I receive when You cleanse my heart and make me new. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus Makes All Things Brand New
April 27, 2010
Truth: There is no gradual sense of redemption or rescue with Jesus Christ. His sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection grant Him the power to make us brand new on the inside. Your choice is to receive this new life and to belong to Him.
Scripture: “If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NCV)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Today I am grateful that You have forgiving and cleansing power to make me brand new. Thank You for erasing the bad deeds of my past and creating a new path for me to walk. I will cling to the new life You have brought to me – now and forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Jesus Brings New Life
April 26, 2010
Truth: The old way of doing the right things required the ability to remember and follow a big list of commands. Those who kept the “do’s” and didn’t commit the “don’t’s” were shown the path to eternal life. Unfortunately, since none of us are, by nature, good we were all found guilty. That’s when God intervened.
Scripture: “He is the one who has enabled us to represent his new covenant. This is a covenant, not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old way ends in death; in the new way, the Holy Spirit gives life.” (2 Corinthians 3:6) NLT
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Today is the right time to begin something new. Help me to stop living under the guilt of a system that measures my heart with a long list of commands. Instead, help me to receive the gift of grace You have offered through Your Son, Jesus and live with His strength to please You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
