1 Peter 1:23(KJV)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
From the above Scripture, the Word of God is alive, abiding, and eternally birthed into us. The seed, the Eternal Word of God, that birthed life in us is incorruptible; it is indestructible. In other words, the Word of God is alive; the sole source of all truth will never change but will always remain truthful. John 1:14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” The Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ became the bodily expression of the Word. He did not only live as the Word; He was the Word personified. So, as Jesus came forth of the Word, we also are given birth to in the spirit to be like Him through the Word. We should look to God’s Word as the measure of our lives. James 1:18 says, “Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”
It is evident that we became born again through the Word of God. The Word is the ingredient that gave us the new birth. Being born of the Word, we must continually feed on the incorruptible seed, God’s Word, to truly live. Our lives should reflect the true Word because we hail from the Word of Truth. It is written in 1 Peter 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” The Lord Jesus also said in Luke 4:4, “…It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Our new life will last forever because it comes from the Eternal, Living Word. It happened when we received the Word of God, the Gospel of Christ’s salvation, into our hearts to be born again. We became the sons of God the Father because we were born of the Word that is God; we are born of God. As Christians, we are born of God through His Word to make a difference. The Word of God created us, and His life resides in us! No wonder the Bible says we are partakers of divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), for as Jesus is, the Word made flesh; we too are offspring of the Word. We became extraordinary when we got born again. Being made of unique things, we are unrestricted to ordinary things. We are a special kind of God’s creature, made to live the higher life in Christ Jesus. The ways and thinking patterns of the heathen are alien to us, which makes us different from it.
Beloved, you have the DNA of God programmed for your higher life. So, feed on the Word daily. Let the Word of God in you produce marvelous fruits that will glorify your Heavenly Father. Build your life on the Word, and you will forever stand strong and tall, even in the midst of storms, trials, persecutions, and hardships. The Word of God will make you what God wants you to be without you having to struggle. The Word will keep you in health, strength, and victory, and you’ll experience unprecedented progress, peace, and prosperity. You are God’s prized possession, and He is committed to your all-round success and prosperity. Therefore, your words should reflect our Heavenly status. You are not permitted to talk about fear and defeat when the world talks about them. Today, upgrade your life with the Word. Take charge and subdue your surroundings and environment, living victoriously daily through the Word. For a verifiable measure of spiritual fruit, compare yourself with Christ, not with the lives of imperfect humans.
O Lord, thank You for Your Word, which has enlightened me unto higher realms of glory. Open my eyes of understanding as I study Your Word, in Jesus’ Name.
