5. Regenerating Man
Since Christ has become the life-giving Spirit, man can now receive God's life into his spirit. The Bible calls this regeneration or being born anew (1 Peter 1:3; John 3:3). To receive this life, man needs to repent to God and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21, 16:31).
When a person receives this life he becomes a child of God (John 1:12-13).
To be regenerated, simply come to the Lord with an open and honest heart and say to Him:
"Lord Jesus, I am a sinner.
I need You.
Thank You for dying for me.
Lord Jesus, forgive me. Cleanse me from all my sins.
I believe You rose from the dead.
I receive You right now as my Savior and life.
Come into me! Fill me with Your life!
Lord Jesus, I give myself to You. Amen!"
