New Beginnings in Christ
2
With Jesus All Things Are New
2 Corinthians 5 17 Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature old things
are passed away behold, all things are become
new.

New Perceptions
All things are become new!

• Born-again Christians do not need a holiday to
  celebrate the passing of time.
• Everyday is a new beginning for the born-again
  Christian.
• When I became born again, the black coal soot
  buildings of Tompkins Barracks in Schwetzingen,
  Germany looked beautiful.
• My perception of my environment changed, not my
  environment.
• Jesus will give you a new outlook on life.
• Jesus will give you hope where there is no hope.

New Views
Jesus Christ gives us a brand new view of life.
He also gives us a new outlook on our situation.

When Jesus was crucified, all seemed dark and
black to the disciples. They had no hope and
they spent all of their time hiding out from the
law. Until the disciples became born again on
the day of Pentecost, they were hiding from
everyone. They did not realize that Jesus came
to die for their sins and the sins of the
world. They needed to be filled with the Holy
Ghost just like you and me.
When your situation seems out of sorts and there
is no hope in sight, now is the time to call on
Jesus for an infilling of the Holy Ghost. When
you are filled with the Holy Ghost, all hope is
restored! All energy is restored. You have a
new life in Christ when you are filled with his
divine spirit. You too can become as Peter and
John when you receive the Holy Ghost. You can
preach and bring others to saving grace.

Living in the Spirit
Acts 238-40 38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even
as many as the LORD our God shall call. 40 And
with many other words did he testify and exhort,
saying, Save yourselves from this untoward
generation.
When Peter was filled with the Spirit he no
longer was hiding in the upper room. He and the
other disciples went to the street preaching the
glories of salvation through Jesus Christ the
Lord. The Apostles were no longer afraid to go
out and preach the Word of God. They became
zealots for Christ after they received the Holy
Ghost and spoke in other tongues. When you
receive the Holy Ghost you also will become a
zealot for Christ. No longer will you be afraid
to share your salvation with others. No longer
will you be ashamed of the gospel of peace. The
Lord might use you to convert your family,
neighbors, or friends.

Death to Life
Jesus gave his life on the cross so that you
could receive his Holy Spirit. Without his
death, there would be no life or Spirit for you.
Jesus is our savior and our redeemer through his
death. When you receive the Holy Ghost, you are
actually receiving the Spirit of Christ. Jesus
Christ becomes part of you and you receive his
strength. The women at the tomb thought that the
body of Christ was stolen from the tomb. Now is
the time to repent of your sins and ask to
receive the Holy Ghost. You need Christ's Holy
Spirit to gain eternal life. Receive Jesus
Christ today and live.
