A Truly New Year: Mini Article

Under the Law of Moses, God began each Jewish New Year with the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16). With a special, once a year ceremony, the sins of the people were pronounced on a “scapegoat” and a sacrificial sin offering and a burnt offering were also offered. The nation was to begin their yearly planning by making things right with God. Under the Law of Jesus Christ, God “now commands all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30), and, if you haven’t, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins”          (Acts 2:38). Only then will the Lord add “to the church daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47). There is no other, or better, way to begin a truly New Year for 2021! - December 28, 2020

This and other mini articles published in the local newspaper are available on the Words of Wisdom Articles.
