BEGOTTEN AGAIN

1 Peter 1:3-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Encouraging Words

Have you ever thought about your salvation in Christ this way? We were all begotten once by God when He formed us in the womb of our mother. Then through the work of Christ in His incarnation, life, death, and resurrection, we are begotten again. We are not begotten this second time to anything on earth but to a living hope in the resurrection of Christ that we too will be resurrected. What a glorious promise. Glory be to Good!
