Born Again

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of GOD.” John 1:12 KJV

“The Son of GOD is born into me by the direct act of GOD; then I as a Child of GOD have to exercise the right of a Child, the right of being always face to face with my Father.” Oswald Chambers

“The Son of GOD is born into me by the direct act of GOD,” what a startling statement! I just never thought about the actual act of becoming a Son of GOD. I know I had to believe, confess, repent, and profess JESUS CHRIST to become a Son of GOD, but I never thought of GOD’s part. I know that I am adopted into sonship; that means that GOD has made me the same as CHRIST yet not a GOD like CHRIST. I have His Name, His Blood, His authority, GOD’s righteousness, His SPIRIT, His purpose and more. I’ve known all this but understood it as my choice; I believed and repented, I confessed and started living according to GOD’s Word.

I know that in CHRIST I am a new creation; that I am to die to my old self and live in, to, and for GOD. Somewhere in the back of my mind I understood that GOD had done it all in, to and for me because of JESUS CHRIST. This is where we as believers get confused; everything above is because I am born again but not the process of being born again. GOD did it in, to and for me.

Being born again is an act of GOD!
