"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan-this rebirth comes from God." John 1:12-13
Why? Because it was the day when our new life, our new birth took place. We celebrate the day we entered the world, but why not celebrate the day eternal life began?
Brethren, think about this with me. The day Christ entered your heart, was the day you died to your old self. It was the day the Lord revealed His love to you. It was the day you realized you were a sinner in need of a Savior. It was the day that you decided you wanted to spend forever with the King of Kings that created you. It was the day Jesus came flooding in, set you free, and covered you with His blood. It was the day He bridged the gap between you and God. It was the day you stepped out in complete faith and said to the world I am His and He is mine. It was the day you overcame your fear of what others thought and went tot the cross, knowing what He thought.
It truly was a life-changing day. It was the biggest day of your life! So why not celebrate it and tell others about it?
What if we stopped celebrating our Birthday's and instead celebrated our Lifeday's?
Birthday's are only a celebration of age, but Lifeday's are a celebration and reminder of what God has done in us, through us, and for us.
Birthday's are only a celebration of age, but Lifeday's are a celebration and reminder of what God has done in us, through us, and for us.
I wonder with each passing year, as that day rolled around, if it wouldn't constantly draw us back to our first love and how that moment felt when Christ entered our hearts.
I can't imagine us NOT celebrating that day with joy and love and excitement. Can you?
"As the Scripture tells us, 'Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed." Romans 10:11
