When you become a Christian, God sees you for who you are in Christ, not who you were in sin.

God does not see you in your sin. He sees you in his Son.

So in. Today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie has good news. He offers hope for any of us who feel too far away from God to ever find our way to Him.

He doesn't see you in your sin. He sees you in his Son. Yeah, you messed up, I messed up. He doesn't see us away. He says, oh no, that's my child now.

This is the day when the lost are found. This is the day for a moment, again.

Amazing grace, God's sweet, the stone.

Again, you can't hold me, I just feel it.

This is the day, the day when I feel it.

Today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how God stands ready to meet us where we are

and help us put the pieces of our sin-shattered lives back together.

This is the day, the day when life begins.
