BORN AGAIN!

1 Peter 1:23 – Devotional

1 Peter 1:23

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever.”

Being “born again” is actually being born spiritually for the first time. It is a new birth into the everlasting family of God. If God is our Father (He is!), and we are His children (we are), we need to start acting as His children.,

Now there are two primary ways children may act as their father’s children: In obedience or in disobedience. I won’t ask for a show of hands on which is which, but you know where you would place yourself!

My mom used to make me sit on a stool quietly and think about how I had just misbehaved. That was pure torture for me since I seem to have been wired for action and trouble. I never had to look for trouble, it always seemed to be on the look-out for me!

When I gave my heart to Jesus as a young boy, there was a change in my pattern of behavior. I somehow knew at that early age that I wanted to please God and not just try to please my mom. I have not always succeeded, but I’m trying!

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
