Every fresh start—whether it’s the beginning of a new year, the change of a season, or a shift in perspective—has a sacred invitation embedded in it. In Christ, this invitation is always open: He makes all things new. Rebirth is not just a one-time event; it’s a spiritual rhythm we return to again and again as we walk with Him. And it all begins with one simple yet courageous act: taking the first step.
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV).
Maybe your “first step” was taken at baptism, heart racing, as you declared that your old ways would no longer define you. That moment didn’t erase every challenge, but marked a powerful beginning. Or perhaps your first step looked different—a quiet prayer, a moment of surrender, a decision to walk away from what once held you captive. However it came, it mattered. That was when your witness began.
“Behold, I am making all things new” (Revelation 21:5 ESV).
Rebirth is God’s work, but it comes to life through ours. Every time you show compassion, extend grace, or speak hope, you become a living testimony of the God who makes all things new.
