New Year, New You?

The Well Church Edmond

We often see the new year as an opportunity to improve ourselves, and we normally focus on becoming something we are not. Whether our goals are financial, relational, physical, or vocational, we want the new year to give us the opportunity to become a new self. But the Apostle Paul reminds us that in Christ we are already made new and we have access to everything we need to live into this new identity. Instead of striving to attain something we lack, we are called to cooperate with God's ongoing renewal in our lives.
