4 Resolutions To Grow Closer To Jesus In 2023
Every new year is a chance to grow closer to God and lead a more fulfilling Christian life. Here are some resolutions that we believe can help you make 2023 a year of spiritual growth:
Spend more time in prayer and Bible study.
As Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." By dedicating more time to reading the Bible and talking to God through prayer, we can better understand His will for our lives and grow closer to Him.
Serve others.
As Jesus said in Matthew 25:40, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." By serving others, we show our love for God and fulfill His command to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Practice forgiveness.
Ephesians 4:32 says, "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Forgiveness can be difficult, but it is a crucial part of living a Christian life. By letting go of grudges and showing grace to those who have wronged us, we can more fully experience the love and forgiveness that God offers us.
Share the gospel with others.
As Matthew 28:19-20 says, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Sharing the good news of Jesus with others is a vital part of being a Christian. We should strive to share the gospel with those around us, whether that be through word of mouth or through charitable works.
We hope that these resolutions will help you grow closer to God and live a more fulfilling Christian life in 2023. May this be a year of blessings for you!
