Born from above...

For we have been born of God; born of the Spirit; not of natural seed to inherit the ‘Tower of Babel’ that this world is building; but of spiritual seed to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. What fellowship can Light possibly have with darkness? We are no longer of the lineage left to us by our earthly forefathers(which will perish): We have been born again of seed incorruptible: 

The wind blows wherever it will. No one knows where it comes from or where it is going- so it is the same with everyone born of the Spirit. Now, like Melchizedek the Priest of Salem, we are a puzzle to this world; we leave no paper trail except to the Cross: We have no lineage except Christ, who is all and who is in all who believe: We have no identity except in Him - and we do not need one. All that matters is a new creation. God is our Father; He hems us in, in front and behind. Our past is under His Blood; our present is hidden in His Body; our future is in His Glory: We will not truly recognize ourselves until that Glory is revealed. My life is nothing, but Jesus Christ.
