Born From Above

Born From Above

Inspired by: Marcy Sandness

Those found in Christ are a new creation,
the old has gone the new has come!
Born again of water and Spirit.
Yes! You are indeed a new creation!
You are of God. Just like Jesus.
With the Spirit and mind of Christ Jesus.
Born from above;
the Spirit of Jesus Christ has entered
your heart.
Your heart is Christ-like.
Spiritually freshened, Yes!
Spiritually cleansed and as pure as a
snow-white dove.
Jesus gave His life for you, upon the cross
of Calvary.
Jesus shed His sin-free blood for you.
Cleansing you of your every sin;
and creating in you a new heart.
You now have, by the absolute grace
of God the Father a spiritually pure
Christian heart.
Oh Hallelujah!
Born from above, by the absolute power
of the Holy Spirit; your heart is pure,
and Christ-like.
Yes! absolutely pure and righteous.
Just like the purified righteous and holy
heart of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus was raised
in full resurrection power. In the full and
absolute glory of His Father.
Born from above;
your spirit is now seated with Jesus Christ.
At the right hand of Father God's glorious
throne of grace.
Through the absolute power of the Holy Spirit
of our sovereign, loving Lord Jesus Christ;
you are a child of God.
The Spirit of Jesus Christ has blessed you
with: "A Call to Holy Living."
1 Peter 1:13-25
"So think clearly and exercise self-control.
Look forward to the gracious salvation that
will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed
to the world.
So you must live as God's obedient children.
Don't slip back into your old ways of living to
satisfy your own desires.
You didn't know any better then.
But now you must be holy in everything you do,
just as God who chose you is holy.
For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because
I am holy."
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom
you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward
you according to what you do. So you must live in
reverent fear of him during your time as "foreigners in
the land."
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from
the empty life you inherited from your ancestors.
And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver.
It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless,
spotless Lamb of God.
God chose him as your Ransom long before the world
began, but he has now revealed him to you in these
last days.
Through Christ you have come to trust in God.
And you have placed your faith and hope in God because
he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.
You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed
the truth, so now you must show sincere love to
each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other
deeply with all your heart.
For you have been born again, but not to a life that
will quickly end. Your new life will last forever
because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.
As the Scriptures say,
"People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades:
But the word of the Lord
remains forever."
Born From Above. . .
Yes! Praise God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
