1 Peter; Ephesians 2; John 3; Galatians 5

Father, I gird up the loins of my mind. I’m serious in seeking after you and your word. I rest my hope fully upon your grace that is revealed to me and delivered to me by the revealed Jesus Christ.

Now, by that grace, through faith in Jesus as your messiah, I am born again. Your spirit dwells in me now forever, and I am led by your spirit. Now I am free from my former lusts, and I am holy in my conduct because you, Holy Spirit, who are now the life in me, are holy.

For I have been redeemed with the precious life and atoning sacrifice of Christ. You, Lord Jesus, gave yourself as a lamb without blemish or spot for me that I, through you, would believe our father who raised you from the dead. Now, Lord Jesus, you are glorious, and my faith and hope are in you.

I have been born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives in me and remains living in me forever.
