New Covenant

I've written about "new" and "resolved" and now for part 3--New Covenant. Covenants are so much deeper than a resolution. They require promise and a pledge. God has never broken covenant. Because of His great love for us, He chose to become the Passover sacrificial lamb.
In Him, not only can we have a NEW year. (where His compassion's are NEW every morning) Lam 3:22-23
We also have these promises!

• We can have a NEW birth-1 Peter 1:3Praise 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
• We are a NEW Creation- 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
• We can put on a NEW attitude and a NEW self-Eph 4:23-24to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
• All of this leads to a NEW life-Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
• One day, we will have a NEW Heaven and a NEW Earth-2 Peter 3:13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
• A NEW Name known only to you and Him-Rev 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
• Sing a New Song-Rev 14:3 And they sang a new song before the throne
• All Things New-Rev 21:4-6 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." 5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.

Knowing what you know now, how will your resolutions be different? Should they be covenants instead? How will 2009 be NEW for you?
