NEWNESS OF LIFE
Abhorring that which is evil and cleaving to that which is good, the children of grace abound in newness of life. Their relationship with the Lord brings them genuine fulfillment and contentment; they yearn to know more, to grow deeper, and to better understand His ways. Embracing the truths found in His Word, they eagerly rely upon His tender mercies and loving-kindnesses to bring about the victories of their lives.
Bold as a lion in Christ's righteousness, God's children stand firm in one spirit and one mind. Considering the paths of their feet, they are careful to choose the straight and narrow way, avoiding any temptation to do evil. They do not grow weary in well-doing and have ceased from falling prey to every wind of doctrine that men may devise. Their hunger and thirst is now after righteousness, and they rely upon God's promise that they will be filled.
Behold! He once stood at the door of our hearts and knocked. As we heard His voice we opened the door. He came in to abide in us and we in He. Now we cleave to Him, steadfastly and unmovable, always abounding in good works. Halleluiah! The greatest desire of a child of God is to walk worthy of the Lord in newness of life.
We are grateful to have His sweet love
His bountiful and overflowing grace;
We are grateful that He gave so abundantly
Of His compassion toward all the human race.
