The New Nature
In this powerful sermon by Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, the concept of being “born again” is explored through the lens of 1 Peter 1:23-25. Spurgeon emphasizes the profound transformation that occurs in the life of a believer, contrasting the corruptible nature of the first birth with the incorruptible nature of the new birth in Christ. He encourages believers to recognize their royal heritage as children of God and to live in accordance with their new identity, which is marked by holiness and love.
