Topic:
Rebirth
In Christ, there can really and truly be a brand new you, born of His blood. For
when you accept Christ, you are reborn. You essentially start over in life because the old
person you used to be has died or has passed away. When you accept Christ, a new you, or a
new person has been born. The old self, the past self, the sinful self dies or melts away
as we accept Christ into our life. For some persons, this process of being born again is
no instantaneous event. To die, your old sinful self has to be cut off from its life
source. Upon your rebirth, Satan begins to play cruel tricks upon you. Satan will make you
think, during your rebirth process, that you can't live without something in your life and
that Christ is not needed or wanted. To keep you from being fully reborn, Satan will make
you believe the only way you can live is the way you lived in the flesh. Satan tries to
make you hang on to your old self. Satan tries to make you addicted to your old self and
old way of life. However, Satan is the great deceiver. Satan is the great lier. The truth
is that when you accept Christ into your life and heart you can turn away from your old
self and old life. In Christ, you can cut off the old self, let it go, let loose of it,
become separated from it, and let it die. When you let the old self die in Christ, there
is, indeed a brand new you who is born in Christ. Your are, indeed, born again.
