Salvation is much more
than making a vow or a promise or a decision, It’s also more than repenting,
weeping or making a new start. Salvation must have regeneration or the new
birth if you will. That is why Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Marvel not that I said
unto thee, ye must be born again.” John 3:7; Only something that comes divinely
from God can produce in a sinner a nature that is holy. All the promises in the
world cannot accomplish what a touch from God can do. So, the question you need
to ask yourself is, “Have I been regenerated?” If you want to know if you are
regenerated, listen up….
If you are truly
regenerated, then you will have the power to resist temptation. I John 3:9; says, “Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because
he is born of God” and I John
5:18; “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is
begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.” A
person who has been regenerated is not able to say anymore, “The devil made me
do it,” simply because a person dwelling in Christ cannot be made to do anything
by the devil. A person who is regenerated, loves people. I John 4:20;. A
regenerated person sees the world the same way God sees it. 2 Corinthians 5:14;
because a regenerated person loves missions and evangelism. And, once you are regenerated,
nothing can separate you from the love of God Romans 8: 38-39;. If you are truly
regenerated you will become productive spiritually John 15:5; and Galatians 5:22;.
The question left for
you today is, are you saved? Are you born again? It takes more than a decision for
Christ. Somewhere along the line you need to be regenerated or touched by the
Spirit of God in a way that totally changes your life. In
order for salvation to be accomplished, regeneration must take place. How does
that happen you ask? By faith. John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to
them gave He power to become the sons of God”. I encourage you today to believe
on His name and receive Christ and allow the regeneration process to work in
you
