'Fast away the old year passes ...''

John 3:3 (NIV). In reply Jesus declared, ''I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.''...... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
''Fast away the old year passes ...'' 
But we can be new and fresh and clean (cf. 2 Cor. 4:17). Kingdom people are those who have been born fresh and new through the power of the Spirit and the grace of God (cf. John 3:3-7; Titus 3:3-7; John 1:11). So as we live life, with its good things and bad, achievements and failures, successes and disappointments, let's approach each day as Kingdom people. 
God's mercies are new every morning and our lives can be made new every day by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Yes, we have been born again. 
But each sunrise offers us the opportunity to be made new, to live in a fresh new way, as God's grace rekindles our hopes and the Holy Spirit makes us new as we trust in Jesus our Lord. Inspirational
