10 Encouraging Bible Verses on New Life

Though it may be Springtime as I write this post, it’s always a good season for encouragement. I trust you’ll find that in these 10 verses!

Spring has blossomed, at least in most parts of the country. Despite some reports of a little late snow here and there, Winter will inevitably retreat beneath the budding trees, blooming flowers, and birds who will soon be returning from their migratory hiatus.

That puts Spring in the air, and with it comes visible reminders of new life all around you.

And pollen. Lots of pollen.

All of the beauty got me thinking, what does the Bible say about new life? So I did a bit of a word study in my Bible and guess what? It says quite a lot, as it turns out.

And Springtime truly is a beautiful season, even for those of us with seasonal allergies.

Life and Renewal

With the arrival of Spring, you can’t help but think of renewed life. It’s every where we look.

Trees are filling with leaves once again, the crops are going into the ground at an increasing rate, and even the animals are on board. The birds are singing loudly, the deer are out of hiding, and the geese are flying north in huge numbers. Even the barn cats where I’m currently residing have given birth to 3, yes 3 new litters of kittens!

This reflection on things made new happens to me every season, maybe you can relate.

When I see the visible changes of the seasons, I’m ultimately reminded of what God’s Word says about it all. In the case of Springtime, it’s all about life and renewal.

During this time of year, the new crops and bright colors also bring me to reflect on the 23rd Psalm.

And that normally leads me to look through verses that speak in some way about all of this new life.

So what I’ve done is gathered some verses together, listed them here, and at the end of this post I’ve provided a pdf you can grab to take with you!

Here are those 10 verses that encourage me in the midst of the changing season. I hope you’ll find these encouraging as well.
