Born of the Spirit

When the message of truth comes to you, you are dead in trespasses and sins, without stength, and an enemy of God. In this fallen condition, you have no capacity within you to receive and obey the word of God. What you do have is the capacity to make a decision. From the beginning, every person has possessed this freedom of choice. When the word comes, you can choose not to refuse it, nor resist it. If you don’t resist it, the word gives you the capacity to receive, believe and obey it.
