Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures (James 1:18).
The Lord Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, but did you know the same is true of us? In 1 Peter 1:23, the Bible says, βBeing born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.β Weβre born of the Word, which means weβre children of the Word.
The Christian isnβt someone who merely switched religions, or changed his ways of doing things. A Christian is someone whoβs literally born of God; born of the Word. That means the life in you is the life of the Word. Youβre no longer of the corruptible seed of man. The Lord Jesus said, βThat which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spiritβ (John 3:6). Youβre not of the flesh but of the Spirit.
1 John 4:4 says, βYe are of God, little childrenβ¦.β This means you hail from God; your origin is in Him. Hallelujah! This knowledge will completely transform your life and change the way you live. When you know your true identity in Christ, youβll live victoriously every day.
The Bible says, β…Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world…β (1 John 5:4). Keep that in mind as you contemplate what we read in 1 Peter 1:23: βBeing born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.β
The Word that gave birth to you lives and abides forever. That says something about your nature, about your person; youβre absolutely invincible; youβre indestructible. Youβve overcome the world! The corruptible human life was supplanted with the Godlife, the God-nature, the instant you were born again. Youβre not an ordinary person. Christ has taken up His abode in you, and youβve become one with Him. As He isβso are you. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Blessed Father, your Word is my life! I have the divine life, because Iβm born of your indestructible and incorruptible Word. Iβm immune and impregnable to the darkness, troubles, and corrupting influences in this world. Greater is He thatβs in me, than he thatβs in the world. I live in glory and eternal victory forever, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
