1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Inspiration
The new birth is the beginning of life in Christ. We know only God can regenerate a soul dead in sin and make it alive in Christ. Yet, it is equally true that God uses His Word in bringing about the new birth. The Spirit of God takes the "incorruptible seed" and plants it in our hearts. It then grows and matures and abides forever in us.

Prayer
We pray that our lost loved ones may receive your grace and respond to the Gospel message preached or simply read in their Bible or otherwise taught. We pray also that we who have experienced the new birth may continue to grow and bear fruit for God by means of the Word that birthed us, Amen
