經文: 「你們必須要重生。」（約翰福音三：7）

重生這題目是救恩最基本的課題，我們必須很嚴謹地看待這問題，因為很多人以為他們重生了，其實未必。無論你是出生在基督教家庭，或是你自稱是基督徒，若你未經聖靈重生，這信仰對你並沒有什麼實質意義。
<BR> 重生究竟是怎麼回事，這很難用言詞來描述。「風隨著意思吹，你聽見風的聲音，卻不曉得從那裡來，往那裡去。凡從聖靈生的，也是如此」（約三：8）。然而，重生後你會發現並感覺有極大的改變，這偉大的工作是超自然的，不是像外科醫生在你身上動個手術，或是在你戶口名簿上更改姓名而已，那是一種內在生命的改變，不是三言兩語就可說盡。總之，你在基督裡成為新造的人，舊事已過，凡事都變成新的了。
<BR> 若你經歷過重生，你就有這樣的體認，「主啊，我永在的父，您是我靈性的導師。若沒有您的氣息，甦醒我的靈魂，我就仍然在過犯罪惡中。」我屬天的生命是源自於您，我別無可誇，我的生命是和耶穌一起隱藏在上帝裡。現在活著的不再是我，乃是耶穌在我裡面活著。願主讓我清楚明白我是否重生，因為這關乎我是否真正得救。有了耶穌，我們才有盼望，沒有耶穌在我心中，一切都是空的。


Morning, March 6

Scripture: "Ye must be born again."(John 3:7)

Regeneration is a subject which lies at the very basis of salvation, and we should be very diligent to take heed that we really are "born again," for there are many who fancy they are, who are not. Be assured that the name of a Christian is not the nature of a Christian; and that being born in a Christian land, and being recognized as professing the Christian religion is of no avail whatever, unless there be something more added to it—the being "born again," is a matter so mysterious, that human words cannot describe it. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." Nevertheless, it is a change which is known and felt: known by works of holiness, and felt by a gracious experience. This great work is supernatural. It is not an operation which a man performs for himself: a new principle is infused, which works in the heart, renews the soul, and affects the entire man. It is not a change of my name, but a renewal of my nature, so that I am not the man I used to be, but a new man in Christ Jesus. To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: man can do the one, God alone can do the other. If you have then, been "born again," your acknowledgment will be, "O Lord Jesus, the everlasting Father, thou art my spiritual Parent; unless thy Spirit had breathed into me the breath of a new, holy, and spiritual life, I had been to this day 'dead in trespasses and sins.' My heavenly life is wholly derived from thee, to thee I ascribe it. 'My life is hid with Christ in God.' It is no longer I who live, but Christ who liveth in me." May the Lord enable us to be well assured on this vital point, for to be unregenerate is to be unsaved, unpardoned, without God, and without hope.
