Something to Ponder

The Nature of Regeneration

By Oswald Chambers
If Jesus Christ is going to regenerate me, what is the problem He faces? It is simply this— I have a heredity in which I had no say or decision; I am not holy, nor am I likely to be; and if all Jesus Christ can do is tell me that I must be holy, His teaching only causes me to despair. But if Jesus Christ is truly a regenerator, someone who can put His own heredity of holiness into me, then I can begin to see what He means when He says that I have to be holy. Redemption means that Jesus Christ can put into anyone the hereditary nature that was in Himself, and all the standards He gives us are based on that nature— His teaching is meant to be applied to the life which He puts within us. The proper action on my part is simply to agree with God’s verdict on sin as judged on the Cross of Christ. The New Testament teaching about regeneration is that when a person is hit by his own sense of need, God will put the Holy Spirit into his spirit, and his personal spirit will be energized by the Spirit of the Son of God— “…until Christ is formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). The moral miracle of redemption is that God can put a new nature into me through which I can live a totally new life. When I finally reach the edge of my need and know my own limitations, then Jesus says, “Blessed are you…” (Matthew 5:11). But I must get to that point. God cannot put into me, the responsible moral person that I am, and the nature that was in Jesus Christ unless I am aware of my need for it. Just as the nature of sin entered the human race through one man, the Holy Spirit entered the human race through another Man (see Romans 5:12-19). And redemption means that I can be delivered from the heredity of sin and that through Jesus Christ I can receive a pure and spotless heredity, namely, the Holy Spirit.

Message from Larry Wilson:

Dear Wake Up Family: Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns regarding my health. As many of you know, my ability to speak (~75% reduction in volume) has been affected since March. On October 4th, I went to the Vanderbilt Voice Center in Nashville for more testing. The good news is that my vocal cords are healthy and no abnormalities were found. The bad news is mixed. The docs cannot determine the source or cause of the problem without more testing. One possibility is a tumor in the neck or near the brain stem, affecting the nerves that control speech. Given that the MRI of my brain was normal, another possibility is that I possibly had a mild stroke in late February or March which caused weakness on the right side of my face and neck to develop and this weakness produces the speech/fluency problem that makes it difficult to speak. Further testing is needed to determine the actual source of the problem. Meanwhile, I am in good spirits, enjoying good health otherwise and with less talking, I am able to get more writing done. Grin... What greater joy is there than to share the gospel of Jesus with people far and near! Again, thank you! The Lord has heard your prayers! The Lord remembers that we are made of dust and He is with us in health and in illness. He gives us peace, grace, and strength each day to deal with the challenges that come our way! My problems are nothing when compared to the many problems that people face every day! "Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart." 2 Corinthians 4:1 Pressing on, Larry
