As we begin 2025, it’s the perfect time to take a spiritual tune-up. Just like cars need maintenance to run smoothly, our spiritual lives need attention too. Repentance is the key to resetting and renewing our hearts. It clears the old sins and gives us a fresh start with God.

What is repentance?
Repentance means turning away from sin and turning back to God. It’s agreeing with God you are wrong  about an action or thought you have against the commands of God. It’s not just feeling sorry—it’s choosing to change. God is ready to forgive when we come to Him with honest hearts. He wants us to live renewed lives full of His grace and blessings.

 

2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV  “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

Isaiah 1:18 KJV says: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”
God promises to forgive and wipe away our sins when we repent. No matter how big our mistakes, He is waiting to give us a clean slate.  

A New Beginning

When we repent, we become new people in Christ. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”
This new beginning allows us to set godly goals and grow the fruit of the Spirit in our lives—love, joy, peace, patience, and more.  

 

Three-Step Action Plan to Avoid Temptations

Pray Daily for Strength
Start your day asking God to help you resist temptations. “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:13 KJV).

Remove Triggers
Identify the things that lead you toward sin, such as certain places, people, or habits, and make a plan to avoid them. “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV).

Stay in God’s Word
Read the Bible regularly to keep your mind focused on His truth. Scripture equips you to fight against sin. “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalm 119:11 KJV). 

 

Questionnaire: Where Do You Need a Spiritual Reset?

What habits in my life are pulling me away from God?

Are there relationships that need forgiveness or boundaries?

Do I spend time each day in prayer and Bible study?

Am I holding onto guilt or sin that I need to confess to God?

What godly goals do I want to achieve this year?

Reflect on these questions prayerfully and ask God to reveal areas for spiritual growth.  

 

Scriptures for Guidance and Forgiveness

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10 KJV).
Ask God to purify your heart and guide your steps for a holy life.

“Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me” (Psalm 119:133 KJV).
Ask God to direct your path and shake off any evil trying to cling to your day.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 KJV).
God promises forgiveness when we humbly confess our sins to Him.

CALL TO SALVATION:

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10  9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. 

John 3:5-6  5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit.
