Joh 1:13, 6:29 | Family | STEP | Were born--of God ; changed, by his Holy Spirit, from supreme love of self and sin to supreme love of God and holiness. No man inherits this holy character by nature, nor can it be given to him by man. It is the gift of God alone. The change in men called being "born again," by which they become children of God, is produced not by men, but by God, and to him will for ever be all the glory.

‏ John 1:13

Were born--of God; changed, by his Holy Spirit, from supreme love of self and sin to supreme love of God and holiness. No man inherits this holy character by nature, nor can it be given to him by man. It is the gift of God alone. The change in men called being "born again," by which they become children of God, is produced not by men, but by God, and to him will for ever be all the glory.

‏ John 6:29

This is the work of God--believe on him whom he hath sent; Christ is the true bread from heaven. To believe on him is to receive this bread, and thus to do what God requires. The great work which God requires of a sinner, and that which is essential to salvation, is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
