Scripture Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
You might have heard the statement or phrase: New Year, New You! This kind of saying it's origin is self-improvement agenda which was brought up by gym and health fitness experts. This kind of saying had nothing to do whatsover with the spiritual aspect of God. It looks like it was a merely physical. New Year, New You to the secular world it means to start a New Year afresh with a view and goal of achieving physical fitness, health and beauty, and not any spiritual new level of intimate relationship with God or the new things of God.
To God "New Year, New You"! implies spiritually, it has to be A New Year, New You in God not just your body's fitness, health and beauty, as the secular world seems to suggest but a brand New Year, brand New You in God -the whole of you spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 KJV). God hates idol worship and the secular world has been doing such kind of idol worship of a human body. It is called loving and celebrating your body! There is nothing wrong with looking after your body. But in God's sight the spiritual order is your saved spirit comes first! Then your soul and body.
