In The Shadow Of The Spirit

In The Shadow Of The Spirit

The miracle of new life happens in the same order as the birth of Jesus, the Son of God: Mary was overcome by the Spirit of the Almighty and conceived Jesus.

The same process takes place in the lives of those who are born of the Spirit, they become God's children.

Thirty years later, Jesus taught a religious teacher how to become a true child of God:
"... unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." John 3:5

When someone is born of water, they exchange their human thoughts for God’s thoughts. The Divine water washes away all of the futile, useless, vain thoughts, and instead, replaces them with God’s living thoughts.

Now, to be born of the Spirit, happens much like when the angel appeared to the virgin Mary:
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you..." Luke 1:35

That's what must happen to everyone. That is, to all those who humbly believe in the Word of God.

Therefore, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

To conclude, Paul, led by the Holy Spirit, said:
"if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8:9

The question is: have you received the Spirit of Christ?
