As a new year begins, we’re surrounded by pressure to become a “better version” of ourselves. In this message from 2 Corinthians 5:17, we’re reminded that the gospel offers something far deeper than self-improvement: a new identity in Christ. Being a new creation is not something we achieve through effort, discipline, or resolutions—it is a work God has already done. The same God who raised Jesus from the dead has decisively made us new, even when we don’t yet feel it. From this secure identity flows real change, obedience, and growth—not driven by pressure, but by grace. Join us as we reflect on what it means to live this year from who we already are in Christ: Same God. New you.
