A New Beginning

2 Corinthians 5:17  (ID: 0551)

While a new year often represents a new start, no New Year’s resolution can compare to the radical transformation that Christ offers: the old completely replaced by the new. In this New Year’s message, Alistair Begg shows that true change does not come from being good, or even by being a religious person. “Churchianity” will not save us—but being in Christ will! The Bible is full of lives transformed. Will we join them?


17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.2 The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
