The gospel promises that Christ forgets what Christ forgives.

Only a lingering belief in God’s persistent grace explains our optimism that our lives can be happier in the new year.
If there were no such thing as grace—if we were forced to drag the chains of sin and brokenness behind us for all time—we’d see nothing in the first of January beyond another gray-grim calendar page.
But 2019 offers light and hope because the gospel promises that Christ forgets what Christ forgives—that all our foolishness and spite is gently washed away when we believe in Him. Through grace, this new year can become that season of humility, deep peace, and reconciled relationships of which we’re always dreaming.
There’s just one resolution worth making this—and every—New Year’s Eve: “By grace, I’ll stay in grace.”
