Summary
In our second devotional focusing on transformation, today we’re exploring the ways in which God transforms us into new creations. Every day God longs to make us new, to forgive our sins and mold and fashion us into his likeness. May God do a mighty work today as we make room for him to move, and may we leave this focused time in his presence with a true feeling of being made new.
Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 5:17, and today's worship is Never Be The Same by First15 feat. Ashley McCleery & Bryan McCleery.

If you’ve wrestled with making Bible study a consistent habit of spiritual formation, A Light Unto My Path will inspire and encourage you to drink more deeply from the unending well that is the Bible.
A Light Unto My Path will answer these 7 critical questions:
- Why do we read the Bible?
- How was the Bible created?
- Why do we need to interpret the Bible?
- What is the Bible about?
- What are the best tools for studying the Bible?
- What can I learn from others?
- How can I learn for myself?
I love that the goal of this book is not to learn more about the Bible (even though you will), but to better understand the Bible as one of the primary ways God seeks to have a relationship with us today.

| 1:04.4 | Behold, the new has come. |
| 1:14.7 | One of the greatest lies told to those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus relates to our old and new natures. |
| 1:23.3 | So many believers live under the oppression of the lie that God in His grace may see us as clean, |
| 1:30.9 | but at our core we're truly not. We live as if redemption in Jesus is like clean clothes, |
| 1:34.5 | covering up the dirt and filth that will always remain, |
| 1:38.2 | and as if redemption is our get-to-heaven-free card. |
