Whoseover Is Born Of God

Summary

The sermon explores the meaning of being "born of God" as described in the First Epistle of John, emphasizing the distinction between relationship and fellowship with God.

The sermon also contrasts the fallen human nature inherited from Adam with the redeemed nature conformed to Christ's image, highlighting that God's children are freed from the law of sin and death. The message stresses growth in grace and knowledge, walking in the light for fellowship, and the permanence of the new birth by the incorruptible word of God.
