God offers us a change from the old and mundane way of life. He extends fresh life to us and invites us to walk a new way. He teaches in His Word that when we approach God and ask for forgiveness, our walk is now "in Christ" and "made alive" becoming radically new. And Scripture declares, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, and behold all things are become new."
When we humbly come to God, He gives us a new heart. He transforms us into a new person. The old person dies spiritually and the new person unfolds and is made alive in Christ. What Christ offers us is abundant life. It is a new life that is free from old habits and bondages that once held us in captivity.
He makes us new and gives us new desires and aspirations for good things. But the choice is ours. He transforms our heart, squelches our desire for the old things, but let's us choose whether or not to follow Him.
