John 1:12-13
12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan — this rebirth comes from God. (NLT)
How is one reborn? To be reborn is not an act of the flesh or by human means, but it is an act of the Holy Spirits work within a person. No one could be reborn if Jesus had not come, died on the Cross and was resurrected from the dead. Through His act of grace the Holy Spirit then began the work of spiritual rebirth. This is God’s plan of Salvation to all who believe Him and accept Him that is the work of Jesus Christ through the cross. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to draw people to Christ. Our part is to be willing to be used by the Holy Spirit to speak the words that will lead a person to Christ. We need to be willing and ready to be used to the glory of God in this work of Salvation. A person has the right to become a child of God when they believe on the work of Christ, have accepted that Christ died for their sins, was buried and rose from grave that they can have new life. To be reborn into the new life with Jesus is the greatest gift of all.
Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
