—James 1:13-18
by: Susan Bond.
Recently I met a man who said, "I believe in Jesus, but I'm not born again." Lacking time to pursue this, I've since pondered the statement. At one time I might have said the same thing, but I think I would have been mistaken. He, who gave me the faith to believe, did so by his Word (Romans 10:17). He didn't stop there. It was his will also to beget me by that same Word (v. 18, KJV). While Jesus is God's only begotten Son, God chose to use his Son as a pattern to cut out for me a new life. All I had to do for him to begin recreating me was to believe (John 3:16).
