Born of God: Understanding Resurrection Life and Eternal Life

This sermon explores the dual nature of being born again from Paul's perspective, emphasizing that spiritual rebirth is initiated and sustained by God, not human effort. The teaching distinguishes between "resurrection life" (our position in Christ with privileges and authority) and "eternal life" (God's nature placed within us that must be cultivated). The pastor challenges performance-based Christianity, explaining that true spiritual growth comes from yielding to the Holy Spirit rather than relying on fleshly effort or religious traditions. The message emphasizes that believers are not only children (technon) of God but also sons (huios) with full privileges and authority, adopted into God's household with access to the Father and the ability to represent His kingdom.
