What a Christian Believes

                   Receiving a new life.  1 John 5 v12 'He who has the
                     Son has life, he who does not have the Son of God
                     does  not  have  life.'    It  is  a  spiritual  life  and  lasts
                     forever.

                   Receiving a new relationship.  Galatians  3  v26  'You
                     are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus..'

                   Becoming  a  new  creation.    2.Corinthians  5  v17
                     'Therefore  if  anyone  is  in  Christ,  he  is  a  new
                     creation.'

                   Receiving a new nature.   Colossians  3  v10  '  ...and
                     (you) put on the new self, which is being renewed
                     in knowledge in the image of its creator.'
                   Receiving  a  new  mind.    Romans  12  v2  '..but  be
                     transformed by the renewing of your mind,..'

                    Receiving a new destiny.  Paul says in Philippians  1
                     v6 '.. being confident of this, that He who began a
                     good  work  in  you,  will  carry  it  on  to  completion,
                     until the Day of Christ Jesus.'

                In time a new CHRISTIAN will become more and more aware
                of  the  NEW  LIFE  in  him  or  her.    There  is  also  a  growing
                awareness of the HOLY SPIRIT who has come to live in the
                soul  of  the  believer.    Galatians  4  v.6  'Because  you  are
                sons, God sent the Spirit of His son into our hearts, the
                Spirit  who  calls  out  'Abba,  Father'.'    The Spirit of Christ
                now lives and stays in us, all of the time, even when we are
                less than perfect.


                WE  CAN  ONLY  BE  BORN  AS  BABIES  ONCE  AND  WE
                CAN ONLY BE 'BORN AGAIN' ONCE.
