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.”
This time every year men and women are busy thinking up their list of New Year's Resolutions. But as I sit here thinking back on all the resolutions I have heard others make over the years, I don't remember anyone making a resolution to serve God more than they have in the past. No resolutions to love Christ so much they are willing to follow His commandments. Oh, no, most New Year's Resolutions deal with people's wants rather than their needs. Most, deep down, are rooted in greed and/or pride.
Before making New Year's Resolutions examine yourself and your list. Do you really intend on keeping them past tomorrow or next week? Do any of them involve leaving your sinful lifestyle and following after the ways of Christ?
What's the point in following the traditions of man when we could be following after Jesus Christ? If you love Him as much as you claim then follow His commandments and watch the life changes that come for His glory and not your own.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
