The most prominent person in the New Testament, other than Jesus, is Saul/Paul, the apostle. As significant of a Christian as he was, even he could have made a few New Year’s resolutions. Such as:
- Be careful about following the crowd (Acts 7:58).
- Know that you can be zealous about something but wrong (Acts 22:3).
- Be grateful for friends who stand by you (Acts 9: 27).
- The next time, leave before the stones start flying (Acts 14:19).
- If you take a ship, wear a life jacket (2 Cor. 11:25).
- Serve God despite physical pain (2 Cor. 12:7-10).
- Give people a second chance (Acts 14:38, 2 Tim. 4:11).
- Be better at keeping up with your belongings (2 Tim 4:13).
All of us could be better at something. Consider making meaningful resolutions to improve your life as a Christian, spouse, and friend.
