Command 43 : Be Born Again | Day 298

Claim Your New Birth Rights!

When a son is born into a royal family, he inherits all of the benefits and privileges of that family. It is the same when we are born again into the family of God. We truly do become part of a royal family, because Jesus “hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father" (Revelation 1:6).

Can you imagine the child of a king growing up in poverty, not realizing the great inheritance that was left for him, which he never claimed? This is often the condition of believers who fail to comprehend or appropriate their new status that comes by being born again into God's family.

When we don't fully comprehend or appropriate what we receive at our new birth, others will fail to see that we are children of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

It would require many pages to describe all of the marvelous benefits and privileges that we receive the moment we are born again. Following is a list of some of them:

1. We are enriched by Jesus Christ in everything (see I Corinthians 1:5).

2. We are called unto the fellowship of His Son (see I Corinthians 1:9).

3. We are given the mind of Christ (see I Corinthians 2:16).

4. We become laborers together with God (see I Corinthians 3:9).

5. Our bodies are the temple of God (see I Corinthians 3:16).

6. We have God's Spirit dwelling in us (see I Corinthians 3:16).

7. We are members of Christ's body (see I Corinthians 6:15).

8. We are given spiritual gifts for the good of all (see I Corinthians 12:4-11).

9. We are made to triumph in Christ (see II Corinthians 2:14).

10. We are accepted in the Lord Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 1:6).

11. We are forgiven of sin and redeemed through Christ's blood (see Ephesians 1:7).

12. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus (see Ephesians 2:6).

13. We are God's workmanship, created in Christ unto good works (see Ephesians 2:10).

14. We are reconciled to God (see Ephesians 2:16).

15. We are members of God's household (see Ephesians 2:19).

16. We are rooted and grounded in love (see Ephesians 3:17).

17. We are more than conquerors through Christ (see Romans 8:37).

18. We can do all things through Christ, Who gives us strength (see Philippians 4:13).

The more we comprehend what we have in Christ, the greater will be our self-worth and our ability to claim God's provisions.

Satan's goal is to rob us of the potential that we have in Christ. His efforts will be thwarted as we continue to study and understand our position in Christ. Let's rejoice in the many provisions He has given us and ask Him for the wisdom to fully experience each one in our lives.
