New Birth
"In His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" ~1 Peter 1:3
New birth. Birthed anew. That means a complete restart! A total re-do. It means that everything....EV.ER.Y.THING...is erased.
Heb 8:12 "For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”
After King David acknowledged that he had his best friend murdered so he could steal his wife, he wrote these words: "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our sins from us." Murder, betrayal, adultery - all forgotten by God. "A man after My own heart", David is called. This shows us that no matter what we have done or how we have behaved, God only wants us - all made possible by what Jesus Christ has done on the cross.
Being "born again" has gotten a bad rap over the years - it simply means a fresh start. We all have that opportunity - to start living that eternal life NOW. An authentic living that is full of internal joy and gratitude and forgiveness no matter what the circumstances are. Life is hard, sometimes downright miserable, but there is HOPE of a better tomorrow in the light of the Lord. Stay in that light and anticipate His goodness!
