John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Have you been born again? I grew up attending church. I believed I was a Christian because I had been baptized and had become a member of a church. The question of whether I had been born again was somewhat puzzling. I would come to understand that to be born again is to have a time in your life where your spiritual life is born and your life in Christ begins. For me, that happened on February 15, 1983. I realized that being religious did not work and I needed to have a relationship with God that could only happen by being born again. As I trusted Jesus by faith I was born again and at that moment I started a relationship with God as my Heavenly Father. I was justified and adopted. I was a new creation. I was redeemed and regenerated. Being born again changed everything. It changed my life here and changed my eternal destination!
Have you been born again?
A March To Remember
With our Date the Word daily devotion for March we are including a verse for each day and suggesting 2 chapters to read that will help us remember our Savior as we make our way to Easter on March 31.
For March 3, let us consider Hebrews 1:3. Hebrews 1:3 says, “Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,”
As we recall the work Christ did on the cross Hebrews 1:3 tells us He Himself purged our sins. In other words, He had cleansed us from our sins. And His work was so complete He sat down. The significance of that is in both the OT Tabernacle and the Temple there was no chairs and the High Priest never sat down.
On March 3 we would encourage you to read Matthew 3 and John 3
We encourage you to go to the new DATE the Word App and join the Bible Reading plan where you can read or listen to Matthew 3 and John to be reminded of His life and teaching.
Continue Strong this March Remembering our Savior,
And remember to DATE the Word
