TOPIC: ✨ BORN OF THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT ✨
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God... (1 Peter 1:23).
Christianity is not a religion. It’s not a system for moral improvement or an attempt to become better through human effort. Rather, it’s the outworking of a divine birth, an actual transformation that takes place in the human spirit when one receives Christ.
You need to fully understand what happened when you were born again. You didn’t merely join a church or adopt a new way of life; you were born of God’s Spirit. This wasn’t symbolic or figurative; He imparted divine life to you and made you a new creature with a new origin, a new nature, and a new identity.
Your physical birth made you human, but the New Birth in Christ made you a partaker of the divine nature. We read in our opening scripture that we were born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which lives and abides forever. Also, James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”
That means being born of the Word, you have the life of the Word. It’s for the same reason that we’re called the epistles of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:3). Then, the Lord Jesus said in John 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, explains this further in Romans 8:10-11: Though your physical body was subject to death because of sin, the Spirit now gives it life because of righteousness.
The Holy Spirit in you is life to your spirit and vitality to your body. This is why Christianity is the manifestation of the divine life in a human person. You’re as divine as the Lord Jesus is. This is the consciousness God wants you to have. You’re born of the Word and the Spirit. The life in you is superior to sickness, fear, failure, weakness and corruption because it’s the very life of God. Think, talk, and live accordingly. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
I’m born of the Word and by the Spirit of the Lord. Therefore, my origin is divine. I’m as divine as Jesus is, and I walk in the consciousness of my divine origin and identity in Christ. The life of God is at work in me, and I manifest His righteousness, excellence, victory, and glory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
John 3:3-6 KJV
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
John 1:12-13 KJV
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: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
