“Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life, and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven…” 1 Peter 1:3-4 (MSG).
Evidently, a lot of people would like to have a fresh start in life. If you type the phrase “fresh start” into Google on the Internet, it brings up about 485,000 links! A lot of people would like a fresh start. They think, “I’ve blown it; I’ve messed up; I’ve really made a mess of things in my life. I’d like a fresh start.” Jesus is in the business of giving people a fresh start. The apostle Peter says, “Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life, and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven” (1 Peter 1:3-4).
Several things happen once you give your life to Christ:
1. You open up your life to God and get to know Him.
2. You’re given a brand-new life, which gives you everything to live for.
3. You get a future in heaven.
Here is an encouraging way to see the benefits of Jesus resurrecting from the grave: You get your past forgiven; you get a purpose for living; and you get a home in heaven. What a deal! Your past, present, and future are taken care of as you put your trust in Jesus. A fresh start!
“Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 (MSG)
