Regeneration is the act of God by which he imparts divine light into the dead hearts of human beings. This message uses several definitive elements of the Christian faith to contrast the behavior of a person dead to God versus that of someone regenerated as a new creation in Christ. Giving thought to how you respond to the Bible, worship, prayer, money, conflict, and more should bring clarity relative to an individual's regenerative standing. And on this day of Baptism at Willow Creek, those who have been resistant are encouraged to open their lives to that regenerating love of Christ.
