Going Forward [Varsity 1-4]
When a person gives their life to Jesus and becomes a Christian, their life begins to change in many wonderful ways.
Today let’s look at 5 of these wonderful changes.
1. First, as a Christian you get a clean, FRESH START.
Nobody would like to step up to the plate to bat and have two strikes against them. You want a new count every time you come up to bat.
In life, many people feel like they are already behind in the count. Perhaps because of some bad things that have happened to them, or because of mistakes they have made they feel like they already have two strikes against them.
However, when we give our life to Jesus and invite Him in to be Master of our life, we get a new, fresh start. Having Jesus in your life changes everything. It changes how you feel and think. It changes how you treat people. You may have failed at things in the past (like school or getting along with family members) but now with Jesus’ help it can be different.
You are a new person-the past is finished and gone. You have a new count. You’re at bat with no strikes against you in the game of life.
Some of the greatest heroes in the Bible were wicked men, terrible failures and giant screw-ups until they tried again with Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It is still the same today. Every church is full of people who had terrible problems and got a fresh start with Jesus.
