How does a person get “born again”?

  • Admit that they’re not yet in the Kingdom of God.
  • Believe that Jesus came to deal with their sin by becoming a sacrifice on their behalf.
  • Choose to place personal faith in Jesus – that His sacrifice was for them.

    Living hope in a dying world...

  • ...reveals death as a finishing line, but it’s not the end.
  • ...promises purpose in the struggle. The pain we face here is not not arbitrary.
  • ...unveils to us that there is more than this.

Two promises of “living hope”:

  1. An eternal inheritance in heaven. V4
  2. God's protection until we get there. V5

ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?

 

Next Steps

  • I need to be “born again”.
  • Remind myself what my inheritance will be like by reading Revelation 21-22.
  • Commit my specific suffering to Jesus. “Jesus, I give ________________ to You. Help me to see You in it; and by Your grace, see me through it.”
  • Recommit to practicing Pi2 – pray, invest, invite – so that my friends & family who don’t yet have “living hope” through Jesus may be “born again”.
