Being Born Again

When Peter writes to the believers in I Peter 1:23, he speaks of them as being, or having been born again. The new birth is a mysterious subject, but comparing and contrasting the new birth with the first birth is helpful.

Every life commences with a birth. That is true of the old life and the new life. The begetting of life in a birth is mysterious. We cannot explain how it takes place. We simply know it is a miracle of God. You cannot see the conception or birth of a child without having only one explanation .... God.

It is the same in the second birth. In the first birth life is created, you cannot give yourself life. It is a creative act of God. No cooperation is involved. The same is true of the second birth. In birth, life is communicated. In a birth a parental seed is always communicated. In the first birth, Adam's sinful nature is communicated to us. When one is given the new-birth, the nature of God is communicated to him. We are said in I Peter 1:4 to be "partakers of the divine nature." When you are born the first time, you are born with certain propensities and dispositions that are inherent in your genes, passed down to you from your parent. When you are born again, you are born with the disposition of holiness. In the first birth, we are born with all our parts, and they grow and develop. In the second birth we are born with all of our parts, and by grace they grow and develop.

By way of contrast, that which is born of corruptible seed is only evil and cannot be anything but that. But that which is born of incorruptible seed is holy and cannot be anything but that. In the first birth, it is so uncertain how they will turn out. But the second is certain, just like Christ. The first birth is sure to end in death. The second birth cannot die.
