bornidentity

Easter is the celebration of life; being alive. Jesus Christ was once dead, seemingly defeated;now risen in victory!

John 3
Jesus gave a name for this other than Easter... Born Again. It's what he called the life transformation of a person; we were dead in sin and made alive through grace and faith in Jesus Christ. A new identity - born identity.

Being born again baffles the way the we think about getting a new start in life. We want to work harder, do better, and put our acts of 'labor' into it. It was Christ who did the work, who 'labored' for my new life. I must simply receive it and live it by the grace of God.

Jesus said we must be born again! There's no other option to experience new life. Everyone is in need of it. Everyone is capable of receiving it. Jesus is the only who can provide it!
