Let's Go Back to the Bible

The beginning of GREAT things

Don’t you love new beginnings? Fresh starts? There is none GREATER than when one obeys the gospel and becomes a child of God. We often call the moment when someone is “baptized into Christ” (Gal. 3:27), “The GREATEST decision of his/her life,” because it is. When one dies to sin and is buried into His death, there is no event GREATER than being “raised” to “walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:2-4). 

So many things could be said to be GREAT about that beginning: one secures “so GREAT a salvation” (Heb. 2:3), becoming a recipient of “exceedingly GREAT and precious promises” (2 Pet. 1:4), being blessed to “have a GREAT High Priest” in Jesus Christ (Heb. 4:14), who has issued to us His GREAT Commission (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16), and giving us “confidence” of that “GREAT reward” (Heb. 10:35).

Have you experienced that new beginning? That fresh start? If not, why not do it today? Did you experience that beginning some time ago? Do you need to refresh it today? The Christian life is truly the GREATEST life!
