born of the Spirit

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

John 3:6-7

The mystery of Spirit birth was revealed by Jesus in His conversation with the seeker Nicodemus. The new birth is new life. It is true conversion. It is a way of new living, no longer led by selfish fleshly impulse, but instead renewed by the Spirit’s refreshing breath of life motivating us into true, holy and different changed lives.

Jesus inaugurated this change with His death and resurrection. He sent the Spirit of God to indwell His followers. Rebirth is now a reality for all who repent, believe, and are raised to walk in a new life led by the Spirit to live like Jesus.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the reality of being born again in the Spirit of God! Thank You for abundant life in You! Thank You for eternal life that is everlastingly new!

Amen
