God Likes New Things

Yes, and so do most of us. Even when we repurpose used things, we typically try to find new ways to use them. Even old recipes change in New kitchens, and old songs change with new bands. Could it be that we are just like our Creator?

I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions, but after neglecting this blog for 6 years, I thought getting back to it was a worthwhile resolution. I may not write big and wonderful posts every day, but I want to share something each day. And today, because it’s a new year, I decided an old note I’d written myself about new things in the Bible, was a great jumping off point. Or, I should say, jumping back in point. (I really did start this on January 1st, but it will show posted on January 2nd because I forgot how long it takes to add tags, alt text, make sure the image fits, etc. Now I need new mercies. 😎)

Below is my simple list of some new things I’ve found in the Holy Scriptures, in no particular order, and I’ll include their references with links to Bible.com aka You Version. I’m using the World English Bible as it is in the Public Domain and easy to understand. Please comment on what you think or any new things you think God likes that I haven’t listed.

†New Life (Romans 6:4 WEBUS)
[4] We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

†New Covenant (Hebrews 9:15 WEBUS)

†New Wine/Wineskins (Matthew 9:17 WEBUS)

And a final verse about God’s mercy and how it is fresh and new for us each day because He knows our forms and that we need new mercies on a regular basis.

†New Every Morning (Lamentations 3:22-23 WEBUS)
[22] It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail. [23] They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
