The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Have You Been Born Again? Doing What Is Right, Part 3

     We ought to do what is right (First John 2:29).  The man who is born again is a holy man; that is, He lives by God's will and law and plan.  We are to avoid what God hates and do what God approves.  We are to look to Christ as our great Example; however, we are also to look at Him as our Savior.  We are to do whatsoever He commands.  We realize and understand that we are not perfect.  We are aware of our inward corruption.  We understand that we have a war we are in; that is, the Spirit against the flesh and the flesh against the Spirit.  We cannot stop the presence of sin but we war against sin.  Sometimes we question if we are Christians at all.  We are not what we ought to be and we are not what we want to be.  We are not what we hope to be and we were not want we use to be, but by His grace we are what we are.  What would Jesus say of you?  Have you been born again?  Think long upon this subject to make your calling and election sure.
