A new birth in Jesus!

Let us praise GOD today!  Let us give thanks to our FATHER in Heaven!

As we enter the 2023 year, let us reflect on the life of Jesus.  Jesus was born around Christmas as we celebrate it.  And He was born with the sole purpose of adding humanity to His deity to die on a cross and be punished for all of our sins.

He would then conquer death, which entered into the world when Adam and Eve rebelled against GOD.

This is what the new birth means.

Once we accept Jesus as our Redeemer, as the Saviour who died for you and I, we become "born again" believers, then we need to die to ourselves. We need to fully repent of our past sins.  We need to forgive as well. 

We need to be indwelt with the Holy Spirit and convicted.  Ideally we should be baptised fully in water and die to ourselves and be reborn into Christ. 

Post this process, no longer can we live as we used to.   This new birth needs to look like something. We cannot be the people we were before.  

From now we need to reflect the light, the truth and the way to Jesus.  We need to grow into "new beings" serving our FATHER in Heaven before ourselves.  

Now we also have hope.  We know that when we die on this earth, we know where we are going.

Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for us in His FATHER's house, in which there are many mansions. 

So let us get down on our knees today and thank our FATHER in Heaven for His enormous sacrifice.  HIS Grace and HIS Mercy and HIS lovingkindness towards you and I.  Co-heirs with Jesus Christ.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU FATHER for YOUR Grace and YOUR favour showered on me.  FATHER help me to shine the Light of Jesus on this earth and to show others the Truth and the Way to Jesus.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
