What if every mistake could be erased, every error corrected, and every sin forgotten?

What if you could start life all over again?

The Bible says that you CAN, and you MUST!

“You must be born again” (John 3:7)

One night, Jesus told an old man named Nicodemus, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be

born when he is old?” (John 3:4)

The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus enable each of us to have a new life

Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

-- Romans 6:3-4

“...our old man was crucified with Him…” Romans 6:6

We are given “newness of life”We are given “newness of life” as we contact Jesus’ death, as we contact Jesus’ death,

burial and resurrection burial and resurrection..

We Become New Men

We “have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” -- Colossians 3:10

We Become New Men

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” -- 2 Cor. 5:17

It is a new beginning! Every transgression and sin

is forgiven and forgotten!

“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.” -- Isaiah 43:25

“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their

lawless deeds I will remember no more.”-- Hebrews 8:12

He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our

iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the

depths of the sea. -- Micah 7:9

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed

our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12

They shall be as white as snow

Though your sins are like scarlet...

They shall be as wool.

Though they are red like crimson…

If we have been born again, let us commit

ourselves completely to our new life in Christ.

“Put off…the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in

the spirit of your mind, and… put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” -- Ephesians 4:22-24
