THE 12 THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT NEW BIRTH

THE 12 THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT NEW BIRTH 
We are going to be seeing some basic foundational truth about a believer.
These truth are what make your walk with God beautiful. But it so surprising that lots of believers don't know these truth but I believe your eyes will be opened to your new reality as a  believer.

These are the things that happened automatically the day you were birthed in Christ. This is void of your efforts but all given at the point of new birth.

WHAT HAPPENED AT NEW BIRTH 

1. You become God's child.

John  1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

To become a child of of is to be born of God into a family of Godlike people.
You are born into a family where God is your father. And you his child have privileges to all his possession.

2. You become born again. 

John  3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

At this point you are born  a second time. But not as the old you but a a new person born of the spirit. It is the this new status of a second birth that grant you access to the father.

3. You are a new creature. 

2 Corinthians  5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

You are not the continuation of the old but a total new species of people having the supernatural life of God living and working in them. Your past becomes buried with with Christ. You become new having no past at all because anything new has no history of the  past.

4. You are accepted by God. 

Ephesians  1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

At new birth we get the privilege to be accepted by God just the way we are. This is the crave of all men to be found acceptable before God. But a a believer that is one of our rights because he gave birth to us.

5.you posses eternal life. 

John  10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

This is an ever assuring truth that we are saved and safe eternally because of the life we receive. This is not what you get when you die. No no no this is actually the life that keeps you from dying.

6. At peace with God. 

Philippians  4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We become at peace with God and his peace becomes our resting place. And this peace keeps us from all troubles surrounding us.

7. Reconciled to God.

Romans  5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

At this moment we all become reconciled back to God. This is our original place lost at the fall of man. But new birth brings us back to fellowship with the father.

8. Passed from death to life.


1 John  3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

What we now enjoy is the very life of God which is superior death. We left the realm were death reign to the place where life rules and Reigns.

9. Justified by faith  


Romans  5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

At new birth we are declared not guilty. Not that we did right, but that Christ did right for us and we receive this justification by faith in the finished work of Christ. This is what we also get at new birth.

10. Forgiven all your sins. 

Colossians  2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

At new birth also all your sins are forgiven. You are washed in the blood of the lamb. No offense is held against you.

11. Received the righteousness of Christ.


Romans  3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

2 Corinthians  5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

This righteousness is the very nature of God that we receive. It's the ability to stand in the presence of God without guilt and inferiority complex .

12. You are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption. 


Ephesians  4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

We have his sign of approval. We are sealed for all eternity  buy virtue of our new birth.

In conclusion, a whole lot of believers think these things are what you get after so much walk with God. But no that's not true we get these things instantly at the point we give our lives to Christ. These are the things that makes us children. Lots of believers don't enjoy these things because they have not acknowledge the things available to them.  My prayer for you today is to get a full understanding of what and who you are in Christ.....
