Generation Kids Daily Devo

This week, we're going to start looking at some of the words that get used all the time in church, the Bible or in Christian circles. Some of these words are unhelpful without the proper definition or explanation... in fact, I like to call these words: Christianese. They're words that Christians use, that anyone outside of church (or those without a long history in the church) might not understand. We're going to define these words, and help to give context to them. Today's word is BORN AGAIN. We can only ever be born of the flesh once... but we can be born of the Spirit after we're born of the flesh... and in this way, we can be born again!
Our passage today is:   John 3:3

Where justification is a once-and-for-all ruling after we're saved... sanctification never stops until we die and are with Jesus. We continue to be sanctified, and made to look more like Jesus ever new day!

Because Jesus died for us, in our place... when we put our faith in Him, and claim His salvation - that we didn't earn, but was given as a free gift from God - the Father no longer sees our guilt... He sees the innocence of Jesus instead. So when He looks to us as a righteous Judge, His verdict is innocent! That... is JUSTIFICATION.

When we talk about the Gospel, we're talking about the BIG story of the Bible, and the smaller story of how that BIG story changes our lives.

MERCY is not getting what we DO deserve... namely judgement for our sins. Instead, God forgives us and offers us salvation by faith in Jesus.

Grace is deserving darkness and destruction and being given light and an eternal Kingdom to rule and reign over, alongside Jesus. Unmerited favor = Grace!

Faith is the hope of that which we can't see, and the conviction of what is to come - based on what the Bible teaches us.

As we finish looking at the three, distinct persons of the Trinity - The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit - and we recap what makes each one unique and take a look at what each unique member of the Trinity is motivated by... the will of the Father, and the love for His people!

As we continue looking at the three, distinct persons of the Trinity - The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit - and we'll be diving in to what makes each one unique and hopefully give us a better understanding of how they function, and relate to us. This week we'll be looking at God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps us understand God's Heart and His Will... and He helps us communicate our most inward feelings back to the Father when we don't know what to pray... The Holy Spirit serves as our Translator to the Heart of God.

This week we'll be looking at God the Holy Spirit. He's not an it, He's, indeed, a He... and He comes to live in each believer. Today, we look at how He reveals and reminds us of God's Word and His truths... as He takes up residence within us.
