 God Wants Us to Live as Men of Jesus in a New Year ㅡ

 “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”

 (2 Corinthians 13:5)

 God forbid that at this important hour we should be so engrossed with other matters as to give no time to serious, candid, critical self-examination!

 Let things of minor consequence be put in the background, and let us now bring to the front the things which concern our eternal interests

 Shall we not in this new year seek to correct the errors of the past?

 It behooves us individually to cultivate the grace of Christ, to be meek and lowly of heart, to be firm, unwavering, steadfast in the truth; for thus only can we advance in holiness, and be made fit for the inheritance of the saints in light.

 Let us begin the year with an entire renunciation of self; let us pray for clear discernment, that we may understand our Saviour’s claims upon us, and that we may always and everywhere be witnesses for Christ.

No one of us can in our own strength represent the character of Christ; but if Jesus lives in the heart, the spirit dwelling in Him will be revealed in us; all our lack will be supplied. 

 (Lift Him Up 15)
