No matter what the story of your life has been, I want you to know that you can walk and live in the newness of life! Jesus Christ does not only redeem us from our sins, but also makes His grace to walk in the newness of life available to us, by His Spirit and by the working knowl- edge of His Word. That is why the Bible admonishs us in Romans 8:13: But if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
