A new life is realizing you have to connect to the true source of life, Jesus. Following Him completely is not about a check list of do's and don'ts, rules to memorize or a half-hearted commitment to ease the conviction you feel from time to time. Following Christ is knowing you were dead before you met Jesus and experiencing new life being breathed into you by the renewing of your heart and mind. 

Jesus is the only one worthy of living or dying for. Everything else falls short of the absolute holiness of Christ and the supreme honor He is given by God for His obedience. God, in His great love for you and I, sent Jesus to rescue the world from our sinful nature so that we could share in His glory and experience true freedom from our rebel hearts.

The only thing in our lives that truly matters is Jesus. Will you embrace Him? Will you allow Christ to give you new life that aims to proclaim the preeminence of Christ?
