Faith & Trust
It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.
It is ours to believe, it is the Lord’s to create us anew.
The beginning of the true Christian life is to receive the Holy Spirit.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
