It’s immense! What the New Birth entails! (Ephesians:1/4 - 7)
- The Father has chosen us in Christ, before the foundation of the world to be holy and spotless before him
- He destined us to be His sons through Jesus Christ
- In Christ we have redemption through His Blood and the forgiveness of our sins
If the begetting is at this moment, whatever be the human experience, my ‘Faith experience’ must provide me with the assurance that here and now I am holy, spotless. What a staggering thought? The Blood of Christ has not been shed in vain. Awareness and consequent claim and appropriation is all that I am called upon to do. Faith is the one word that captures this whole experience
