How To Enjoy 2026

 How to enjoy the New Year of 2026

Jesus First

Brings true Joy!

 

 

Greeting friends and neighbours! This time of the year, we start making New Year's resolutions. Are we going to be better people or do better in 2026?  We as Christians feel we need to get closer to God than we ever have been before. James 4:8 says,” Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.  Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.”  In 2026, let’s try to be more excited about having compassion, making a difference and serving God.  

           

As we approach 2026, can we think of someone we can help to get through a hard time or problem in their lives by just being there for them, being a friend, or having compassion? Jude 1:21-22 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

           

As we approach 2026 as Christians, can we project the life of being a new creature as children of God? Have you put on the new person created by God in holiness? Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Are you walking in the newness of life and of the newness of spirit? Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. & Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Are you renewed in mind and knowledge? Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. & Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Are you enjoying the new and living way? Hebrews 10:19-21  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;  And having an high priest over the house of God;

 

 

In Conclusion: As we focus on a new vision for a new year, carefully and prayerfully ask yourself these important questions and study what the Word of God has to say about them.  As we make our New Year’s resolutions for Christ for 2026, let us ponder the Lord’s Truth. Luke 9:23-24  And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

 

 

In 2026, try to:

 

1) Pray Daily- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

2) Study the Word of God Daily-2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.  Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

3) Witness for Christ- Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

4) Attend Church every service that you can- Hebrews 5:12-14  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

5)Visit and invite people to church- Acts 20:20  And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

 

We hope and Pray You and your family have a Very Blessed and Happy New Year!
