It Begins with New Birth

Daily Arise: Journey with the Holy Spirit — Day 1
The Christian journey does not begin with spiritual gifts, ministry, power, or religious achievement. It begins with new birth.
In Titus 3:5, Scripture reminds us that God saves us not because of our own righteousness, but according to His mercy, through the renewing work of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus declared, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). This message explores the meaning of the new birth, salvation by grace, the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, and what it means to live as a new creation in Christ.
Key Scriptures: Titus 3:5; John 3:3–8; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8:9–11; Ephesians 2:8–10; Galatians 5:16, 22–23.
Key Message: Before God works through you, He wants to work in you. The journey with the Holy Spirit begins with salvation and continues through daily surrender, spiritual transformation, and a life that reflects Christ.
Declaration: “I am born again by the Spirit of God. I am a new creation in Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells within me. My journey has begun—and I will walk with God.”
