A Person Reborn

This lesson explores the profound transformation that occurs when an individual becomes a Christian, transitioning from their old life into a "new creation". We begin by examining how this rebirth is not merely a change of habit but a spiritual resurrection, in which the believer rises from the "watery grave of baptism" to walk in the newness of life. This new birth is a dual work: it is produced by a heart that responds to the Word of God and to the active, regenerating power of the Holy Spirit.

We further delve into the "New Life" that follows this rebirth, characterized by a move from spiritual death to eternal life and from the kingdom of darkness into God’s "marvelous light". This transition is more than a one-time event; it is a daily process in which the "inner man" is continuously renewed. You will learn how the metaphor of light represents a lifestyle defined by goodness, righteousness, and truth, providing a stark contrast to the worldly walk left behind.

Finally, we address the "New Loyalty" that defines a person reborn. True conversion involves a fundamental shift in allegiance—moving from the service of sin and self to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ. We conclude by examining why some Christians may lack evidence of this rebirth, challenging you to examine your own loyalties to ensure Christ remains the central focus and strength of your life.
