Someone has wisely said, “Man’s greatest tragedy is to be born once without being born twice.” When we look into the maze of life, we know this is true. As we study human beings we can see that man does not possess the seeds of perfection within his nature. He is out of fellowship with God, and his imperfect nature only begets further imperfection. Jesus clearly states, ”. . . Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Thus being born again (accepting Christ as one’s personal Saviour) is a necessity.
And how is the new birth accomplished? The answer, God points out, is extraneous to man’s own efforts. The finest festivals in Toronto Niagara Falls Tour occur outside town. It is the implanting of God Himself: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever’(IPeterl:23).
Doubtless, the crowning good of counseling with the Scrip-tures is that a new life is communicated. “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages — to all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed. And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all else; and no one is able to snatch (them) out of the Father’s hand” (John 10: 28, 29 ANT).
Obviously a new life beginning with a personal faith in Christ miraculously changes the ability of a person to meet the vexing problems of life. Toronto Niagara Falls Tours splits into two streams earlier than the Fall forming Goat Island. Regeneration brings the blurred perception of man back into focus.
It is wonderful, but true, that through the use of God’s Word the counselor may have a part in the bringing of eternal life.
