“….if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.” 2 Cor 5:17
Looking out my glass deck door, I can see the sunlight dancing on my orange floribunda roses, some blooming and buds getting ready to burst into blooms.
What a beautiful scene!
It floods you with a feeling of newness, along with the sweet fresh fragrance of the rose.
This newness made me forget what I was doing and led me into this realm of sweet-smelling fragrance.
Okay, friend,
Life is not a bed of roses for a Christian! I get that 🙂
However, as I read through 2 Corinthians 5:7,
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”
I can understand that if I completely, wholeheartedly put my faith in Jesus Christ and make Him the Lord of my life,
I will become a new creation, meaning I am reborn spiritually and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
My old moral and spiritual nature has been removed,
and my new life in Christ Jesus has begun.
My new life will include a better attitude towards others
and new lifestyle change which is more Christ-like.

” Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be dismayed.
The Lord your God is with you wherever you go”
As we read through the Bible, we can understand that our God is a God of hope. The word of God teaches us to combat fear and to find strength in the Lord.
One of the underlying themes of the Bible is that it teaches us to overcome our fear and to always remember that the Lord is with us.
Dear friend,
Through the ups and and downs of life, I remember our Lord telling me to be strong and not to fear.
I hope this printable will help you to remember this special promise of our Lord.
” Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be dismayed.
The Lord your God is with you wherever you go”

I’m so delighted to share this free printable, “For God so loved the world…” with you!
I guess this is by far the most popular verse from the Bible.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16
Let’s imagine you’re in outer space and looking at this blue and white marble like sphere called earth,
And then you look around yourself in space and its dark and quiet and absolutely no life.
What would be your conclusion?
That we are just nobodies living in this lonely planet or we were created by a supernatural being designed specifically to live and multiply in this planet???
I believe that we were created by God and there is life after death.
When we believe in Jesus, His only Son we will receive life for eternity.
