LESSON OUTLINES
- BEING BORN AGAIN
- A CHANGED PERSON
1. BEING BORN AGAIN
A believer in Christ becomes a new creation by being born again (John 3:1-7). The person becomes born again not by works of righteousness but by mercy (Titus 3:5). The person was dead in sin but now alive to God through the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:4-5; Romans 6:11b). His sins are forgiven and the blood of Jesus has cleansed him (1 John 1:7; Romans 4:7-8). He is different from his old nature because he has recreated in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
A believer in Christ is not if this world system (John 17:15-16). The person is a stranger and pilgrim (1 Peter 2:11; Hebrews 11:13). He lives in the world as one passing through but the world is not passing through him (1 Corinthians 7:31).
2. A CHANGED PERSON
Several things change when a person give his life to Christ. Being born again confers a new identity on such a believer. He is changed from being a sinner to a saint (Philippians 4:21-22). He used to focus and channel all his energy on earthly things but now has a new goal and that is to attain Heaven at all cost (Colossians 3:1-2). The lifestyle of a believer; his words, conducts and actions also change (Ephesians 4:22-32). He is determined to please God in all things.
CONCLUSION
Be delighted and confident in declaring your identity in Christ.
