3749 — A New Creation

By E. H.

When does the birth of the new creation take place?

When man fully accepts of the Lord Jesus Christ as his one and only Saviour, and God accepts him as His child. It may be said that in a far fuller sense this is true when man is raised from the dead, immortal. The real thing, after all, however, in any individual, is character; and man is born into the beginning of character when he is born from above. John 3:3-5 (margin). That development, of course, is a matter of growth in his Christian life. The resurrection of the body, or the changing from mortality to immortality, is just simply God's placing His own stamp upon the incorruptible character.
