Devotional

Jesus explained to Nicodemus the necessity of being 'born again,' a spiritual rebirth through the Holy Spirit. This new birth is not physical but spiritual, bringing us into God's Kingdom. Our physical birth brought us into this world, but our spiritual rebirth brings us into a relationship with God. This rebirth is essential for experiencing the fullness of life that God offers. Consider what it means to be 'born again' and how this spiritual rebirth can transform your life. Embrace the new start that Jesus offers and the opportunity to live a life filled with purpose and meaning.

 

Bible Verse

Jesus answered, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.' - John 3:3

 

Reflection Question According to the scripture below what does being 'born again' mean, and how can this spiritual rebirth transform your life?

 

1 Peter 1.18-21 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

 

22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 

 

Quote Physical birth puts you into this world. A rebirth (born again) puts you into the world of God's kingdom.

 

Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of a new birth through Your Holy Spirit. Help me to embrace this new start and live a life that reflects Your love and grace. Amen.
