A new beginning

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. (Isa 43:18-19)

For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said: "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. (Heb 8:7-8) Christ has obtained a more excellent ministry which He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. (Heb 8:6) Let go the old, start a new thing! Hear Him!

Happy new Year yaso! What a time to put up this post. Whenever we see grace, that is our new beginning!

In Law, we see our end whereas in Grace, we see new beginning because He is involved in this New Thing!!!

Forget the Law and do not dwell in the Law, He has come and gave us life and life more abundantly! This life is zoe life, a higher level life than the "good" life we live out of the Law!
