The reason why their first state when they were delivered is the chief one of all and why it is the starting point of all following for evermore is that those who were there were delivered by the Lord’s coming into the world. They could not possibly have been saved without the Lord's Coming into the world; and their deliverance took place when the Lord rose again. From this it is evident that that state—when they were delivered—was for them the chief of all states. (Secrets of Heaven 7828)
This renewal from the Lord can take place at any time. The motto of our church, “Behold, I am making all things new” (Revelation 21:5), is in the present tense. It is something that the Lord is continually doing. The Lord renews us through the process of repentance, a good starting point for other kinds of renewal. New Church teachings point to Holy Supper as a good time to repent and begin a new life:
Active repentance is examining yourselves, recognizing and admitting to your sins, accepting that you are at fault, confessing them before the Lord, begging for his help and power in resisting them, stopping doing them, and living a new life. All this is to be done as if you were doing it on your own. Do this once or twice a year when you are about to take Holy Communion. Afterward, when the sins for which you are at fault recur, say to yourselves, “We do not want these, because they are sins against God.” This is active repentance. (True Christianity 567)
The Lord is standing at the door asking to come in and dine with us (Revelation 3:20). We can open the door by this kind of repentance as we prepare for Holy Supper this Sunday.
