What is “New Life in Christ”? It is a radically new heavenly life in Christ that begins here and now and goes on forever. So much has been promised to us! But it doesn’t all just drop on us out of the blue. We “come to life” by believing and then living the truths which our new life is built upon.
If you want to know how to make your new life count (and enjoy it) now that you are saved, you’ve come to the right section. And if you are an older Christian who is struggling to find the joy, peace and fulfillment promised by the gospel, then these articles will help refresh and restore you.

Why can’t the kingdom of darkness be converted? After all, the Enemy deceived them same as us, yet we have been given the opportunity to repent from our allegiance to Satan and return to God. Why can’t they? Why won’t they? There have been people in church…
Time really is on our side, but we often have to wait for the right time to come. Faith turns waiting into our secret weapon. Waiting doesn’t feel like much of a weapon; oh, but it is.
