I pray that if you don’t have
a new heart, you will ask God to give you one.
You know you are loved.

New Heart
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things
passed away; behold, new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17, NASB
Having a new heart doesn’t
mean anything is easy, in fact it can make things worse. Your old heart and
desires are being replaced but it is a daily struggle against the things of God
and the things of the flesh. Last night, I saw the play, Sister Act. At the
end, the play added that God and the human spirit are equal and are one. Oh my,
don’t buy into that untruth! God’s new heart is stronger. He is stronger! Read
the Bible: Jesus is all-powerful, Jesus wins!
If you follow Christ with a
passion, you know what it means to believe and have a new heart. God’s promise,
found is 2 Corinthians 5:17, is that if we are in Christ (if we have placed our
hope in Him, believed God send Jesus to die on the cross, turned to Him and
away from sin, and let Him be our Lord and Savior), we have a new heart. We are
created by God but return to Him as He recreated us for His glory. Old things
are gone, new things are here.
This week, we are thrilled to
release the long-awaited new believers’ guide, “HeartCall New Heart: What it
Means to Believe.” This 62 page, eight-day downloadable resource is a
workbook designed to help anyone with the basic steps to the faith: hope,
believe, turn and call, as well as the next steps to walking with Christ: share,
church, pray and Bible. You will find it on our new website, in our shop: www.jayemartin.com/shop.
