A new beginning is always a fascinating and exciting prospect. The drug addict who goes cold turkey in an attempt to throw off the terrible destructive effects of addiction is often motivated by the prospect of a drug free life. The smoker, the alcoholic, the compulsive gambler, each mercilessly a captive of his sinful compulsion, longs for the freedom to be found in a real and lasting new beginning. God has told us that we cannot through self reformation or under our own steam really conquer sin and change our own character. The power and motive for effective and enduring change must come front outside ourselves.
Jesus said, "The Truth will make you free." "He whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!"
