Bible Verses about Moving On

What does the Bible say about moving on? Both the Old Testament and New Testament are filled with stories of faithful men and women who are called to move on. Whether it's from past sins, a harmful relationship, or disappointments and hurt, God calls for us to become a new creation in Him. We can never fully become who God wants us to be without leaving the old behind and moving into His plan for us. No matter your past, you can step out of condemnation and shame into God's grace and favor!

Read through these Scriptures to learn more about the meaning and significance of moving on. Fix your eyes on Jesus and take steps toward greater faith as you focus on His promises for your life. Let's pray: Holy Lord, Thank You for grace. Please help me move beyond the hurdles that trip me up and give me the strength and wisdom to look up and see the hope I run toward in Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
