More Than An Experience – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 15th

(When You Were Born Again, You Happened!)

TO THE BIBLE: John 3:3 KJV
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

LET’S TALK
It’s very easy for the natural man or someone who isn’t learned in the things of God to think being born again is a mere religious cliché.

Some even think being born again means to turn over a new leaf or make new resolutions to be a better person. No! It’s way more than that!

Being born again isn’t necessarily about outward expressions or experiencing something. Quite the contrary, you are the experience.

In that very moment you happened. Think of it like when a baby is born. No one says, “Wow, that baby just had an experience.” No—the baby itself is the experience! In the same way, when you got born again, you happened.

Being born again means your past is completely erased. The old “you” died in Christ, and the new “you” has the resurrection life. It’s not the same person that died in Christ that’s alive now.

That’s why 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and all things have become new.”

So, from the moment you’re born again, you’re like a newborn in God’s eyes, ready to grow and learn.

That’s why 1 Peter 2:2 KJV says, “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow.”

The more you learn from God’s Word, the more you grow into the person He created you to be. You’re not just turning over a new leaf—you’ve started a completely new life in Christ!

2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 2:2 NIV; Romans 6:4

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for my new life in Christ; your divine nature in me has made me a master over circumstances, with dominion over the systems of this world. I’m growing unto maturity by the Word. My spirit is built up strong and educated as I study and meditate on God’s Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
