But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.--- John 1:12-13 NLTAll who welcome Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives are reborn spiritually, receiving new life from God. Through faith in Christ, this new birth changes us from the inside out---rearranging our attitudes, desires, and motives. Being born makes you physically alive and places you in your parents’ family (1:13). Being born of God makes you spiritually alive and puts you in God’s family (1:12). Have you asked Christ to make you a new person? This fresh start in life is available to all who believe in Christ.--- Life Application Study Bible notesThis means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!--- 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLTPRAYERHeavenly Father,Help me find delight in obeying Your teaching.Teach me to be content to be who I am. Remind me my deepest identity is not the one I create for myself but the identity given me by You. I am the beloved of God, and always will be. That is enough.Help me understand that the important person in my life must be not myself, nor others, but only You. Thank you, Lord, I am infinitely loved!In Jesus’ nameAmen
