BORN INTO DIVINITY
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
When you were born again, what the Bible says is that you were baptized into Christ: “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?” (Romans 6:3).Galatians 3:27 says, “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
So, being born again, you were born into God, into divinity, by the Word, through the Spirit of God. You were actually received into Christ. That’s why the Bible says, “…If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…” (2 Corinthians 5:17); he’s born anew with the God-life and God-nature.
Your human life was not merged with eternal life; it was replaced by it. This is what the Bible teaches. And if you don’t know it, you’ll never live in the reality of the divine life. Your knowledge of it activates the experience. That’s why in 1 John 5:13, the Spirit, through the Apostle John, tells us, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life….”
God wants you to know that you have His life in you. That life doesn’t cohabit with sickness, disease, or infirmities; it destroys them.The divine life in you is
incorruptible, indestructible and impregnable to failure and death. But if you don’t know it, you’d live as a mere man, suffering the same afflictions as those without Christ.That’s why you must understand what it truly means to be born again. It’s to have the pulsating life of Christ in you. It’s to be translated or transferred from mortality into immortality, from humanity into divinity. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of eternal life that I have in Christ Jesus. I walk in the consciousness that I have the life and nature of God in my spirit. This life makes me superior to sickness, disease and darkness. I live victoriously always, demonstrating the divine life in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
If you’re blessed by this devotional, believing every word you heard by faith in your heart, and would love to make Jesus the lord of your life, then speak the confessions below out loud, and mean them with your heart:
“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
