See Romans 8:9; 1 John 4:13, 3:24.
Do you love to tell of Jesus and His Father’s love? Or do you love to tell the faults of others?
Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
Does doing the right thing, being a good witness, and sharing your faith seem like a duty or a pleasure?
Do you have a nagging guilt that you should do something for God and others?
Or do you have a burning desire to serve God and help others?
Are you so happy that you are free? Or are you bound in slavery and guilt?
If you delight to serve God and help others, and you love to obey God, then you are born again. If you are not, then you are not there yet. But if you will learn to love Him, yield yourself completely to Him, and do all that He is asking you to do of your own free will, you can be born again. This is God’s promise to you. People who are born again do not have guilt, or for very long, because they seek forgiveness for all their sins from God, and get it; they have no desire to stay in this unclean state of guilt. They also have no desire to disobey God or hurt others.
Yes, you can be born again today, if you will seek for God with all your heart. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 KJV. You don’t have to have any guilt from unfulfilled duties or sin, you can have great joy and wonderful peace! The choice is yours. So choose peace!

“But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 NASB. This text is so true. This is looking at the truth in a different way. We need to contemplate what this means, it is so important! Those who are walking in the light as God is the light will not be thinking that they do not need to be too concerned about their behavior or whether they are free from all enslavement and entanglement with the sins and things of this world. Many surround themselves with preachers and others who believe that they do not need to be concerned very much about their behavior or entanglement with sin and the things of this world, and little mention is made of the sinner’s need of walking in the Light of God, to repent and have a change made in them. And others think that they believe in ‘the truth’ while they are not walking in the Light and have not His abiding presence in their heart. It is every Christian’s privilege to choose to walk in the Light as God is the Light, whether they will listen to His sweet Spirit when He whispers to their heart or not.

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3:12-19 KJV.
So what is the cure for unbelief? Faith. Faith is the opposite of doubt or unbelief. Unbelief in what? Unbelief in the promises of God. The children of Israel had been given a promise by God that He would give them the land of Canaan and help them to possess it, if they would follow His lead. Caleb and Joshua told the children of Israel that they were well able to enter the Promised Land, that God would open the way for them and give it to them. But the 10 other unfaithful spies lied to the children of Israel about this, saying many discouraging things to them, so that they did not believe the promise of the Lord.

The righteousness of God is revealed to faith. Rom. 1:17. Faith is complete dependence upon the word of God, expecting that word to do what the word itself says. Is there, then, righteousness spoken by the word of God, so that people can depend completely upon that word, that the word shall accomplish what the word says? There is. Indeed, that is the very object of the gift of Christ.
