Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Once, a respected Jewish teacher, Nicodemus by name, came to see the Lord Jesus. He was a ruler among the Jews, but despite his religiosity, something was missing. The Master looked at him and made a profound statement that cut through all his religious knowledge and rituals: Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).

Nicodemus, somewhat flustered, asked, How can a man be born when he is old? But the Lord Jesus wasnt speaking of physical birth; He was revealing a deep spiritual truth. Being born again isnt a mere religious clich or phenomenon, but a spiritual reality. It means receiving a brand-new lifethe life and nature of God Himself.

When you were born again, you werent brought into a religion; there was a supernatural transformation. It was an actual rebirth. Your human life was supplanted by the divine life at the new birth. Something actually took place in the spirit; you were brought from death into life and immortality: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24).

Now that youre born again, youre born of the Word by the Spirit of the Lord: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (John 3:6-7). 1 Peter 1:23 says, Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

The Bible also says in John 1:12-13 says, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. This is what it means to be born again; youre literally and vitally born of God, with His life and nature in your spirit. Youre taxonomically different from the non-Christians. As Jesus is, so are you in this world (I John 4:17). Hallelujah!



Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for the supernatural life of Christ thats now at work in me. Im born of the incorruptible Word, which lives and abides forever; Im not an ordinary person. Im a new creation, born of your Word and your Spirit. I live the higher life, full of glory and righteousness. I walk in victory every day, in Jesus Name. Amen.
