YOU ARE A MIRACLE – From the beginning to the end.

2 Corinthians 5:17

If you are a child of God, then you are a miracle product of God.

You did not become a son of God through blood ancestry (parents), or by your own purpose or by compulsion of another.  You became a son of God through God alone.  It is by grace alone.

John 1:12, 13 – “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

You were born again by the incorruptible seed of the word of God.  Just like the entry of Holy Spirit into the womb of Mary produced Jesus Christ, the entry of the Word of God into your dead spirit ^{(Eph 2:1)} produced the new you.

2 Pet 1:23 – “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 

1.    You were born a sinner.

2.    You inherited the sin nature of Adam your forefather.

3.    You were alienated from God. 

4.    You were in enmity with God. 

5.    You were the accused.

6.     You were bound to an evil conscience. 

7.    You were sinful by nature. 

8.    If left to yourself, you were going to be condemned forever.

But at some point in your life, you responded to Holy Spirit who revealed to you that the penalty and punishment for your sin was paid for, by the blood of the person Jesus Christ the son of God.  

1.      You understood that you were born again by the incorruptible seed of Jesus Christ (the Word of God). 

2.    You came to know that your inherent sin nature was put to death.

3.    You realized that God reconciled you to Himself; no more aliens.

4.    You are assured that you are now a friend of God. 

5.    You understand that God withdrew his accusation against you. 

6.   You are given a good conscience. 

7.   You are made the righteousness of God.

8.    You are now destined to be saved forever. 

You are now defined as:

A ‘born again righteous’ child of God, through the seed of Jesus Christ, reconciled to God, given a clean conscience, and destined for eternal life. 

If this is you, then you are a miracle product born of God.  God supernaturally performed this miraculous work in you.  It was not some clever idea that you came up with.  You did nothing on your part for this to happen. 

If your new birth was a miracle - then your new life must also be a miracle.

What was started in the spirit, do you now attempt to conclude in the flesh ?

If grace got you saved, then why are you applying the law to remain saved? 

Let God who started this good work in you, complete it. 

Now that you have access to God the Father through His son Jesus Christ you can boldly approach the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace miraculously for your transformation. 

If the work of reconciliation (a miracle of new birth) happened while you were still an enemy, how much more would God do (miracles of new life) for you, now that you are His friend? 

• Put away your own efforts and hard work.
• Put away your resolutions towards God.
• Put away your works of self-discipline.
• Put away your ‘self-management’ skills.
• Put away behavior modification. 

Rest in the truth that God will finish the good work He started in you.

Rest in the promises of God to you.

Rest in the finished work of Christ.

Rest in the fact that God will miraculously transform you.

Rest in the work of heart transformation that only God can do. 

Remember - "So if while we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to himself through the death of his Son, then something greater than friendship is ours.  Now that we are at peace with God, and because we share in his resurrection life, how much more we will be rescued from sin's dominion" 

What started as a miracle should end like a miracle.

Don’t interfere in the work of God and try to take some credit for yourself.

You are saved by grace and by grace you will remain saved.
