David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 17th January 2025
Though the phrase “born again” does not occur in the Old Testament, the idea of rebirth does in various ways. Humanity was “reborn” after the Flood. Abraham figuratively received his son Isaac back from the dead. Jacob was given a new life after wrestling with God. But none of these many figurative examples are the same as the way Jesus used the phrase.
Jesus said we must be spiritually born again in order to enter God’s Kingdom (John 3:3). Peter said that God has “begotten us [given us a new birth] again to a living hope.” Why a living hope? Because our new birth to eternal life is based in the “resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” What hope does a person have who dies outside of Christ? None. But faith in the resurrected Christ—the Christ who conquered death—gives us “living hope.”
The Christian’s hope extends beyond the grave. Give thanks to God today that you have been born again to a living hope.
If you are never born again, you will wish you had never been born at all.
