What It Means to Have the New Birth
Dr RJ Sing
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.”
What does it mean to be Born of God? It is to have God’s life, God’s Truth and His nature in us. It is communion, fellowship and like- mindedness with God. It is through the New Birth that we come into a regenerated position. It is further an impartation of Love into our lives.
It is an expression of Himself in our lives. “God is Love” (1 John 4:8). This is who God is. We see another glimpse of this in (1 John 4:16 NKJV) “We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” When you are filled with God, you have no desire for sin. Why? Because sin has lost its appeal in your life. At the New Birth, you are filled with Love, Purity and Truth. God had already purposed that every Newborn babe in Christ is called to be a Saint. Is this not remarkable.
That since the day you were born again, you are called a Saint. Let us look at the Following Scriptures. (See Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2)” This is too wonderful for the human mind to comprehend. You were called from darkness into the Light of God. That is why the Word states that “You are the Light of God” Amen.
