THE EVIDENCE OF A REGENERATED LIFE
Text:
Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." - NKJV
Special Quote:
When you have the Word within you, then the works of the Spirit show up.
When a person is born again, something supernatural happens within the spirit. The believer becomes a new creation, created after the order of Christ. But this new nature must increasingly become evident in the way we live. The Word of God feeds the regenerated spirit so strongly that the spirit begins to influence the soul and produce results in our everyday lives. Regeneration is therefore not merely something we profess; it should increasingly be reflected in our character.
This is why the renewing of the mind is so important. Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Many of the struggles we experience are connected to areas of our thinking that have not yet been brought into agreement with God's Word. As the mind is continually renewed by Scripture, it becomes aligned with the regenerated spirit. Then the fruit of that new nature begins to show, love replaces hatred, peace replaces turmoil, patience replaces irritation, and self-control begins to govern our responses.
Therefore, keep feeding your spirit with God's Word. You cannot walk the Christian life effectively without the Word. The more you allow Scripture to shape your thinking and conduct, the more the character of Christ will become visible through you. When pressure comes, let your new nature respond. When you are offended, allow the Word to guide you. When your flesh wants control, walk in the Spirit. The evidence of a regenerated life is that the nature within you increasingly produces the character of Christ through you.
Points to Remember:
1. Being born again gives you a new nature, but that new nature must increasingly become visible as your mind is renewed by God's Word and your regenerated spirit begins to influence the way you think, speak, respond, and live.
2. The fruit of the Spirit is evidence of the work taking place within you. As you continually feed your spirit with God's Word, love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control should increasingly become evident in your character.
Prayer:
* Father, help me to continually grow in my new nature and reflect the character of Christ.
* Lord, renew my mind through Your Word and bring every area of my thinking into agreement with Your truth.
* Holy Spirit, help me to walk in the Spirit so that the fruit of the regenerated spirit will be evident in my life daily, in Jesus Name.
