The old has gone. I get to start new.

A Bible affirmation for new beginnings, rooted in 2 Corinthians 5:17.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

2 Corinthians 5:17 · BSB

Reflection

In Christ, the past is real, but it isn't in charge. You don't have to keep living as if old patterns have the final say. New creation means a genuine fresh start.

A prayer

Jesus, help me live like someone You've made new. Break the hold of old labels.
