The New Birth, or spiritual regeneration, is the foundational transformation by the Holy Spirit that makes believers new creations in Christ, enabling them to enter God’s Kingdom, receive new spiritual life, and begin a life of righteousness and fellowship with God.
The Christian life begins with a divine encounter that changes the heart and direction of a sinner. Today, we explore how repentance and faith lead to justification before God.
Spiritual maturity, an ongoing process of growth in faith and character, is crucial for a fulfilling life and effective ministry. It fosters a deeper relationship with God, equips individuals to overcome challenges, and empowers them to positively impact others. Essentially, it’s about becoming more like Christ in all aspects of life.
In the New Testament we read of people who ‘distort the Scriptures to their own destruction’ (2 Peter 3:16) or who ‘make a shipwreck of their faith’ (1 Timothy 1:19).
Jesus Christ warned against the dangers of serving a false god called Mammon. It is very clear that many Christians who claim to love God are serving Money as an idol. Unfortunately, it is unknown to many that they are involved in this form of idolatry. Many modern Churches are involved in this form of idolatry.
