We Can Be Reborn As A New-Creation In Him

It is only by trusting in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, that we can be reborn as a new-creation in Him, with a clean heart. It is only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and our identification with HIM that we can be declared righteous by God and have the righteousness of Christ imputed to us.
We never need fear that the Holy Spirit will depart from us, since the Cross, He takes up permanent residence within each born-again believer. However, we can resist the Spirit, quench the Spirit, or even grieve the Spirit of God, which not only causes our fellowship with the Father to be broken, but can suppress our joy and steal the perfect peace of God within.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me

Our United Prayer:
Thank You, Father, that in Your wisdom You do not renew and restore the old fallen sin-nature in Adam, but You give us a new nature, a new, born-again life, received through faith in Christ. Thank You for the lessons we can learn from your words. Thank You for the  ministry of the Holy Spirit, and we pray that You would point out all the areas in our lives that grieve You or quench Your ongoing work within. Create in us clean hearts in this new year we pray, and renew a steadfast spirit within us, and may Christ be seen in us as we submit to Your Spirit's leading and do only those things we hear from Him. In Christ's name we pray, AMEN.
