Titus 3:5
“He saved us by the washing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit…”
Rebirth or regeneration is the believer’s new birth or the second birth when he is ‘born again’. Here is what Jesus said,
John 3:3
“I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Being ‘born again’ is a cleansing from all the sin that I have ever committed. I am washed. I am clean. I am new. I am ‘born again’.
I am also a new creation with a new nature –
II Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
This rebirth and renewal is the work of God the Holy Spirit. He did this apart from anything I have done. He saved me.
Prayer: Thank You Father that I am a new creation and that I have been born again. This is your great work in my life. Give me grace today to live my life with gratitude for what You have done for me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
