Fantastic Friday #291-Regeneration

Regeneration

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:5-8

What do you think of when you hear the word regeneration? For some of you that are old enough to remember, do you think of the six million dollar man being in such bad shape they had to totally rebuild him? "We can rebuild him, we have the technology to make him better, stronger, faster" directly from the show's introduction. Now take a look at yourself if you have accepted Christ into your life. Do you feel better and stronger with Christ in you? One great picture in this verse is how God used the Holy Spirit to give us the ability to see, hear, repent and believe. And once you believed, you became a regenerated person who was once dead but now alive in Christ. Now that is something worth praising.

Have a great weekend.
