Understanding the new creation 1.

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

1 John 5:4

Understanding that you have been born of God gives you victory over the world as a Christian. It is the key to consistent victory in your life. When you understand this truth there will be no more defeat for you in your life.

You have to understand that just as the natural man is born with his father's DNA, so also the new creation has God's DNA inside him. In Acts 17:28-29 Paul said that, "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, …"

1 Peter 1:23 says, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." You were born of the Word just as Jesus was born of the Word. The Bible shows us in John 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, …" When the angel brought the Word to Mary and she believed it, that Word from God affected her womb and she conceived by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is the same experience with every Christian. The day you responded to the Word of salvation that you heard, the Word of God and the Spirit reacted on your spirit and a divine being was produced inside of you. Amen.

Now that we have been born of the Word, it means that every virtue and character that is in the Word of God is inside us.

Confession.

I believe with all my heart and I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord. His death paid for all my sins. He was raised again on the third for my justification. Therefore eternal life has being imparted into my spirit. I am created anew, born again by the Word of God which lives and abides forever. Amen.
