INTRODUCTION
Change in life is inevitable. Sometimes we change where we go, who we go with, or even what we’re doing when we get there. But the most beautiful thing about the life we start living with Jesus is that we get to change the person we are because of our relationship with Christ. We become a whole new person with new goals and a new direction culminating in Heaven!

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 2 Corinthians 5:13-17
We all have a BC (before Christ) life. In many ways, for most of us, it was lived in lonesome futility. But the life with Jesus as a new creation of God is not meant to be anything like that! We are given purpose, peace, and purity in abundance!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 & 6:1-2
Being a new creation in Jesus is a grace-filled gift. But taking hold of and walking in that newness, requires intentionality, effort, and perseverance. It is a privilege and an honor to be one of God’s co-workers. How humbling to be trusted with something as great as the work of God!
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would remind you of the new creation you are and show you specific ways to live that out this week.
