Rick warrens lesson Jesus Offers Us a Fresh Start Once I typed the phrase fresh start into Google on the Internet. It brought up 485,000 links! Evidently, a lot of people would like to have a fresh start in life. They think, Ive blown it, Ive messed up, Ive really made a mess of things in my life. Id 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, weve been given a brand-new life, and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven (1 Peter 1:3-4 MSG). Several things happen once you give your life to Christ: You open up your life to God and get to know him; Youre given a brand new life, which gives you everything to live for; You get a future in heaven. 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 MSG) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, (1 Peter 1:3, 4 NIV) It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. (1 Corinthians 1:30 NIV)
