In this lesson, Your New Life in God's Grace, the grace of God is so important to us. The Bible says we all have sinned and I'm thankful the scripture does not leave us there. When we come to God, we are starting a new life. Our past is gone.  The things we used to do are not remembered by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become. In essence, what God has done for us is to give us a fresh start in life. God called this being born again. There is a growth process for all new converts.  Keep in mind, though, we will never cease to grow.  We must always strive to grow more mature in the things of God everyday.
