Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" devotional for today is so simply, yet completely profound!
Born Again
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever" (1
Peter 1:23).
We are begotten of God.
We are born of God.
We are children of God.
We are heirs of God.
We are joint-heirs (the word "joint" means equal) with Jesus (Romans 8:17).
In declaring this, we do not magnify ourselves. We magnify God and what He has done for us through the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not make ourselves new creatures. God made us new creatures. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
We are new creatures created by God in Christ Jesus!
Confession: I am begotten of God. I am born of God. I am born of incorruptible seed by the living Word of God. I was born into the spiritual realm, given eternal life, and made a branch of the vine through the incorruptible Word of God.
Shalom in Him!
