"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They (His mercies) are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."  - Lamentions 3: 22-23

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - II Corinthians 5:17

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. ... Therefore put to death fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, covetousness, which is idolatry. But now you must also put off anger, wrath, malice,blasphemy, filthy language. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge, according to the image of Him who created him. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering; bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complain against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts and be thankful." - Colossians 3:1-2, 5, 8-10, 12-15
