The Fallacy of New Year Resolutions

New Year resolutions often stem from a desire for self-improvement, but they are frequently driven by remorse and personal resolutions rather than genuine change. True transformation comes from repentance, which involves reorienting one's mind and actions toward Christ and allowing the fruit of the Spirit to take root. This contrasts with manufactured resolutions that rely solely on willpower, leading to inevitable failure. Therefore, a meaningful lifestyle change requires a shift in mindset that aligns with biblical principles and acknowledges that true strength comes from recognizing one's dependence on God.
