New Birth Quotes

“A son or daughter in any human family is either born to or adopted by the parents. By definition, a child can't be both. But with God we're both born of Him and adopted by Him.”

“... we did decide to trust Christ, but the reason we made that decision is that God had first made us spiritually alive. ... God comes to us when we're spiritually dead, when we don't even realize our condition, and gives us the spiritual ability to see our plight and to see the solution in Christ. God comes all the way, not partway, to meet us in our need. When we were dead, He made us alive in Christ. And the first act of that new life is to turn in faith to Jesus.”

“Everyone Needs a Compass

Sooner or later, everyone needs a compass. Some discover this need at life’s peak, amidst success and wealth, only to find an emptiness that prestige cannot fill. Others hit rock bottom before they scream for help, their only option to look up.

The point is not how we get there, but that we finally see our need. A person in darkness doesn’t interrogate their rescuer; a man in freefall doesn’t pause to study the hand that saves him.

I was that person. I fought the truth until I had no fight left. I struggled with Jesus until my struggle made no sense. Standing at the cliff's edge, I finally asked for help. I needed a true compass. And in that moment, light flooded in, a peace I couldn’t explain overwhelmed me, and my path became clear.”
