OUR REGENERATION IS MIRACULOUS
Regeneration is a: “supernatural work of the Holy Spirit by which the divine nature and divine life are given (John 3:3-8; Titus 3:5). Regeneration occurs when God sovereignly acknowledges a person’s belief of the gospel.
Regeneration is the most dramatic change in a new believer; when we are “born again” we enter the family of God. (Re- means “again,” and generation means “birth.”)” [1]
Some argue that since a man dead in trespasses and sins cannot believe, God must first regenerate him in order that he may then believe.
But, if that were true, that is, if he already had been regenerated and thus been given the gift of eternal life, then why would he need to believe?
The two must be simultaneous[2].
The Gift of Salvation is about Jesus who died to take us who are dead in our sins, bring us to life; and welcome us as family members, full of endless life and brand new, that’s regeneration!
Have you experienced the power of an endless life, do you
every day partake of the powerful presence of the very Lord God Almighty within you?
What God Has Done in Us
The truth of what God has done when He saved us is the cause for our celebration of communion this morning:
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. NKJV
Because Jesus regenerated me-I have abundant life. Say that aloud with me
1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
Because Jesus regenerated me-I am a Temple of God. Say that aloud with me
1 Corinthians 12:27 “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually”.
Because Jesus regenerated me-I am a member of Christ’s Body. Say that aloud with me
2 Corinthians 1:21 “Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God”.
Because Jesus regenerated me-I am anointed and sealed by God. Say that aloud with me
