Do your New Year’s Resolutions take into account the fact that God makes sinful people righteous? The world around us tells us that change is up to us, that change is a result of the actions we take. The Christian faith, however, tells us that change is a matter of identity—of understanding who we are in light of who Jesus is. This follow-up to last year’s series on New Beginnings takes us through how we can receive this new identity and how it changes our relationships, our politics, our work and our lives. 2 Corinthians 5.17-6.2
