My Pondering
There are 3 distinct stages of creation which run in conjunction with salvation.
- Creation – We first must be born by God with our soul. This is natural and supernatural as we are hybrid beings, by blood and water. Our bodies we inhabit are finite and mortal. Our souls are for forever. We had no part this stage though God and our parents certainly did for we did not and could not chose when, where and by whom.
- Children – though our physical birth and rearing happens, our spiritual birth relies on our acceptance and care for our Heavenly father by His Son Jesus. We must be born again while participating in our salvation a God’s adopted reclaimed child.
- Re-Creation – God promises use new glorified bodies unstained and incorruptible by sin. This is all His work.
