Virgin Birth, New Life

Virgin Birth, New Life…

The concept of the virgin birth of Jesus is often met with skepticism, a challenge to the miraculous. Yet, for the Creator of the cosmos, such an act is surely within divine capability. Beyond the historical event in Bethlehem, the virgin birth carries a profound spiritual analogy.

Just as Mary conceived without human intervention, so too is the new birth, the spiritual rebirth, a work of God alone.

When a person experiences a spiritual transformation, it is a miracle, an event beyond the capacity of their former self. This new life is not a product of past actions or inherent goodness but a divine gift, a supernatural occurrence.

It is a virgin birth within the soul, a creation ex nihilo, from nothing. Just as Mary questioned, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” (Luke 1:34), so too might we wonder at the inexplicable change wrought within us.

The most compelling testimony to the virgin birth, both historically and spiritually, is not mere argument but lived experience. We demonstrate the reality of this divine act by embodying the transformative power of Christ.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the miraculous gift of new birth, a virgin birth within our souls. We acknowledge that this transformation is not of our own doing but a testament to your boundless grace and power. Lord, help us to live lives that reflect this miraculous change, lives that are marked by your love, compassion, and goodness. May our actions be a living testimony to the power of your Spirit so that others may witness the reality of your work within us. Grant us the courage to step beyond our old limitations, to act in ways that can only be explained by your divine intervention. Help us to show the world the living Christ, born anew in us, through our actions and attitudes. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.

Let our lives reflect a radical change, exhibiting compassion, goodness, love, and joy that defy natural explanation. Let our actions speak louder than words, showcasing the miraculous work of God.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
