Can we truly become new creations, leaving our old selves behind? Join me, Rick, as we explore this transformative concept inspired by 2 Corinthians 5:17. Today's session of Wisdom for the Day offers a profound reflection on how faith in Christ not only forgives our past mistakes but renews us, providing a fresh start. We'll delve into those moments of regret and longing for a second chance, discovering the liberating truth that God offers us something greater than a simple do-over. Through His grace, we receive redemption and a new identity, calling us to live as ambassadors of His love and grace.

In this heartfelt episode, we share a powerful prayer, asking for a deepened trust in Jesus to live purposefully and spread His message. We'll draw strength and clarity from God's Word, equipping ourselves to face life's challenges with faith and wisdom. Don't miss the opportunity to be inspired by the incredible gift of redemption and renewal. And remember, I'll be back tomorrow with more insights and spiritual guidance to enrich your journey.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:28.384
Today is day 23,.

00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:34.612
A new creation from 2 Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 17,.

00:00:34.612 --> 00:00:37.115
From the New Living Translation.

00:00:37.115 --> 00:00:42.746
If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.

00:00:42.746 --> 00:00:44.570
The old has gone.

00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:46.554
The new is here.

00:00:49.701 --> 00:00:57.343
Do you ever wish you could have a do-over, a chance to go back and do something differently, to avoid a mistake you made?

00:00:57.343 --> 00:01:02.573
Most of us think of times when we acted foolishly or sinned.

00:01:02.573 --> 00:01:09.686
We wish we could take back a conversation, an email or a deed that lingers in our mind.

00:01:09.686 --> 00:01:16.504
Some of us might even wonder if God could ever accept us with such a blemish in our past.

00:01:16.504 --> 00:01:23.075
The good news is Jesus is that God that makes us new.

00:01:23.075 --> 00:01:24.421
Jesus is that God that makes us new.

00:01:24.421 --> 00:01:26.543
He doesn't just erase our past sins.

00:01:26.543 --> 00:01:32.228
He creates a new person in us, reconciling us to himself through Jesus.

00:01:32.228 --> 00:01:40.617
When we admit our failure to live up to God's purpose, god offers us the gift of redemption in Christ.

00:01:40.617 --> 00:01:50.275
When we place our trust in him, god no longer holds our sins against us.

00:01:50.275 --> 00:01:55.001
What an incredible gift of grace.

00:01:55.001 --> 00:01:55.861
This amazing truth gives us new freedom.

00:01:55.861 --> 00:02:00.787
God knows that we're sinners, but our standing before Him isn't based on that fact.

00:02:00.787 --> 00:02:16.520
Instead, we're redeemed and made new in Christ, and when God looks at us, he sees the perfect love of Jesus.

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.787
He calls us to live for Christ and to share the good news of his love with other sinners who need the same grace.

00:02:20.787 --> 00:02:28.575
God offers us something even better than a do-over he forgives us and makes us new in Jesus.

00:02:28.575 --> 00:02:33.864
Won't you pray with me, father God?

00:02:33.864 --> 00:02:35.169
I praise you, lord.

00:02:35.169 --> 00:02:38.645
You know every weakness and sin in me.

00:02:38.645 --> 00:02:43.174
Yet, for Jesus' sake, you see me as righteous.

00:02:43.174 --> 00:02:48.912
Deepen my trust in Jesus so that I may live as an ambassador for him.

00:02:48.912 --> 00:02:53.751
In Jesus' precious name, I pray, amen.

00:02:53.751 --> 00:03:00.250
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
