James 1:18(AMP)
It was of His own will that He gave us birth [as His children] by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a prime example of what He created to be set apart to Himself—sanctified, made holy for His divine purposes].
The above Scripture makes us to understand that we are born of God and His very life is in us. We are born to be the difference, alien to the ways and thought pattern of the world. Every Christian is born of God through His Word to make a difference. God’s very life is in us! So, as Jesus came forth of the Word, we also are given birth to in the realm of the spirit to be like Him through the Word. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.”
As Christians, our lives should reflect the true Word, because we hail from the Word of Truth. Our new life will last forever because it comes from the Eternal, Living Word of God. This happened when we received the Word of God, the Gospel of Christ’s Salvation, into our hearts to be born again. Philippians 3:20 says “But there’s far more to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own.” Everything about us originate from Heaven and not from this world, therefore our words should reflect our heavenly status. We cannot talk fear and defeat when the world is talking fear and defeat. We should talk faith and confidence; our words should uplift our hearers and give them hope and confidence. Instead of defeat, think and talk victory because you are more than conquerors. No wonder the Bible says we are partaker of divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), for as Jesus is, the Word made flesh, even so we have been made offspring of the Word.
Beloved, you became an extraordinary person when you got born again. Don’t limit yourself to ordinary things! We are a special kind of God’s creature, made to live the higher life in Christ Jesus. You are alien to the ways and thought pattern of this world, made different from the world. You have the DNA of God, programmed for the higher life. You are God’s prized possession and He is committed to your all-round success and prosperity. Today, let the Word of God in you produce amazing fruits, so that your Heavenly Father will be glorified. Be filled with His Word and His Spirit, being prayerful, watchful, thankful and humble. Let your difference be evident every time and everywhere.
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.
