Born again

Born again

 

John 3:6 

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

 

 “That what is born of the Spirit is Spirit”

is born to know God.

This is the only way it can be

or we like it or not.

 

The new Spirit we receive

at the time of regeneration

will help us see ... who we should be

beyond our degradation.

 

God will remove our heart of stone

and give us a heart of flesh

and through simple obedience

God will do the rest.

 

John 1:12-13 

12 But to all who have received him—those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s children 13 —children not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband’s decision, but by God.

 

 

All we have to do is receive

He makes Himself known

And we should not neglect

the gift that can be our own.

 

He presents the right to become

to all who believe in His Name

and as children in His family

we’ll never to be the same.

 

Born then outside the will

of the stubborn flesh.

Not of blood but through Christ

Who gave His very best

 

Jan Wienen
