💥 Being born again by the Word of God.

I Peter 1

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21 Who by HIM do believe in God, that raised HIM up from the dead, and gave HIM glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Christ, The Word, is formed in us as we do that Word!

I Peter 2

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

* malice:  ill will toward another person because of a perception of wrong done toward us

* guile:  sly or cunning trickery against another

* hypocrisies: pretending to feel something which you do not feel

* envies: a feeling of discontent or resentment aroused by someone else's possessions or qualities

* evil speakings: spreading a corrupt word of this world instead of a word that honors God and builds another's faith in God

2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ (The Word).

So we read the Bible, and do the instructions from the Word of God, and Christ, The Word, grows in us as we do the scriptures.  Therefore Christ is formed in us.  

And we do which ever scripture is brought to our attention by the Holy Spirit of God following one scripture at a time until it grows in us and causes us to be godly through the Word, Jesus.

The Word is formed in us by doing that Word.  Then the Word is in us and becomes a way of life to us and a part of the way we think on this earth.

We are recreated by The Word of God each time we sit down and think on the Word and deliberately do that Word.

2 Corinthians 2:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

We build our house on the Word from God by doing the Word, correcting our way of life when we see the Word instructing us to go in another way.

Jesus says:

Matthew 7

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
