Are you Born Again for Sure?

Did you know or realize that Adam and Eve are the only two humans who knew what it is like to NOT be a sinner? Got your attention? Good!
Being born again for sure means restored connection with God as before the fall.
If you have been born again for sure, or consider yourself a Christian (which requires being born again), then consider this:
Yet God freely and graciously declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Romans 3 :24
God doesn't sees us as guilty or unrighteous anymore. In fact, He declares us as 'righteous' and 'not guilty'. He declares this. His word is final.
For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
Romans 5 :10
Our connection with God, which Adam and Eve enjoyed, has been restored through Christ death. Simple.
So, are you enjoying that unhindered fellowship with God?
Or are you still trying to become righteous before Him? This would be like living in your own house in God’s backyard, and hoping to enjoy all the benefits of living inside His house. You will not get everything.
Question:
Do you believe what God says?
If your answer is yes, then live like it. Not on your own, but through Christ.
If your answer is no, then you most likely are not born again. Come to God now. It is not too late yet.

Relationship vs Religion

I have come to realize over the years that being born again ( aka: being a Christian ) is to be in a relationship with God.
When Jesus was on earth, He ushered in a relationship. His invitations were always to come to Him and follow Him. He never once said " Come, let me tell you all that My Father told me, then go do it."
Yes, He sends us out to do what He calls us to do, but even in that, we must do it how and when He says, which can only be done by staying connected to Him.
Matthew 11: 28-30 says;
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Are you at rest? Rest deep in your soul?
Moment by moment, every day, I am finding Him to be true to His word of being humble and gentle. It shows in Him teaching me and molding me and yes, correcting me. It is called discipleship.
And, as my heart responds in obedience to Him, and allow the molding and correcting to take place in my life, I experience His rest so deeply, nothing can take it away.
And when those things pop up that threatens to take it away, because, well, the devil NEVER gives up, I have the grace and strength and boldness and courage to ignore and say "NO". With that same strength and boldness and courage, that I only get through Christ, I am able to keep focus on God's truth.
Are you tired of how your life is? Are you carrying a burden in your 'work for God?' He said His 'yoke is easy and His burden light right there in Mathew.
Come to Him and experience His rest today and always.
