Stepping into 2025 with the Unwavering Abilities of Jesus

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, 2025, the world around us may still feel uncertain. Challenges may loom, and our own strength may waver. Yet, amidst the unknowns, we have a steadfast anchor, a source of unfailing power: Jesus Christ. The Bible continually reminds us of His boundless abilities, offering hope and confidence as we step into the future.

Let's explore three facets of Christ's power that can empower us in the year ahead:

1. Able to Save to the Uttermost (Hebrews 7:25)

"Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." - Hebrews 7:25 (NIV)

This verse speaks of a salvation that is complete and eternal. Jesus doesn't offer a temporary solution or a quick fix. His salvation encompasses every part of our being, extending throughout eternity. As we navigate the challenges of 2025, we can find rest in the knowledge that His salvation is total and enduring. He is constantly interceding for us, ensuring our secure standing before God.

2. Able to Keep That Which We Have Committed (2 Timothy 1:12)

"That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." - 2 Timothy 1:12 (NIV)

The Apostle Paul, facing trials and persecution, found peace in knowing that Christ was safeguarding all he had entrusted to Him. This same assurance is available to us in 2025. We can confidently commit our lives, our dreams, our fears, and our aspirations into Jesus' capable hands. He will guard and preserve them.

3. Able to Subdue All Things to Himself (Philippians 3:21)

"He will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. This he will do by the power that enables him also to subject all things to himself." - Philippians 3:21 (NIV)

This verse reveals the ultimate extent of Christ's power. He is sovereign over all things, working all things according to His perfect plan. As we step into 2025, we can trust that He is in control, even when circumstances seem chaotic. He is working to bring about His ultimate victory and His purposes will prevail.

Embracing 2025 with Confidence

As you face the new year, remember these truths about Jesus. He is able to save completely, to keep all that you commit to Him, and to subdue all things to Himself. Walk forward with confidence, knowing that the one who holds the future is also the one who holds you. Happy New Year!
