The New Birth and Faith #364

It’s the same way with the Christian faith. You need to know where you are going and how you get there. The destination we seek is heaven, the world to come. Most people think all you have to do to get there is die. This is not what the road map says. The Bible is our road map. The classic text of the Bible is John 3:16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

You must trust in Jesus Christ as the One who has paid the penalty due to you for your evil acts of lying, cheating, and unfaithfulness. Who really comes to Christ and trusts in Him? The Bible answers. It is the person who is born again of the Spirit of God. "But as many as received Him to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12-13). The new birth stems from God not from an act of your own will. You can have a faith born of your own native ability. Or you can have a faith born of the power of the Spirit of God.
