New year, New me.

Christian blog about making New Year’s Resolutions.

Tis the season for lots of New Year’s Resolutions.

And tis the season for even more blogs written by Christians about the making of New Year’s Resolutions.

So, never one to hold back from squeezing into an overcrowded marketplace, here’s my Christian blog about making New Year’s Resolutions.

But actually, I don’t really want to help you make a New Year’s Resolution for yourself. I want to tell you what New Year’s Resolution God’s already made for you.

Here it is.

He’s going to make you more like Jesus.

Christian, that’s what he will spend every day of 2018 doing. Making you more like Jesus. Long ago—in eternity past—he “predestined [you] to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Romans 8 v 29).

Think about Jesus. His courage. His compassion. His commitment. His kindness, loyalty, his wisdom, his thoughtfulness, his patience. You don’t have to become more like Jesus. You get to become more like Jesus. This isn’t a duty so much as a delight.

You’re going to become more like him. Because God’s resolved to do that.

And he’ll do that by showing you Jesus.

How to (really) be transformed

“We all,” Paul writes to the Corinthian church, “who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3 v 18).
