John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Parents don’t manufacture babies. Parents transmit life from themselves to the child. I have in me the life of my father, Arden Rogers, and the life of my mother, Rose Rogers. That life continues in me. When you are born again, the life of God comes into you. God’s life is put into you, and you are a part of the life of God.
Salvation is not simply getting Man out of Earth into Heaven; it is getting God out of Heaven into Man. It is the life of God that comes into you. The theme of the Gospel of John is life. By your first birth, you have existence, and by your second birth, you have supernatural life. Jesus said in John 10:10, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. When you are born again, you are a partaker of God’s life, a partaker of the divine nature. The life of God is in you.
If you are saved, God’s life continues in you. Are you representing Him every day? What are some areas in which God is currently growing His life in you? What parts of your life are hard for you to surrender to Him? Talk to a fellow believer and ask your friend to share how he or she sees you representing Christ. Ask also about any areas in which you may need to grow.
