God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Do you have an addiction? Is there anything that you believe you “really need?” Is there anything that you could not imagine losing for a few weeks? Do you plan your life around the ability to get or use something? Is there any behavior, habit or unhealthy desire that you can’t stop? Are other areas of your life suffering (family, friends, career, finances, health) because of a certain behavior? Is a certain behavior preventing you from growing in Christ? Do thoughts of a certain item or action or person consume you more and bring more pleasure than thoughts about God? Is there anything that is wasting your money and time? Is there anything in your life that you keep hidden from others? Is there anything in your life that leaves you anxious, guilty or empty, but yet you still desire more of it? Is there anything that is mastering you? When you are grumpy, depressed, scared, bored, stressed or irritable, where is the first place you turn? What or whom do you trust for comfort and protection, adventure and satisfaction, purpose and pleasure? Not all the things we can be addicted to are necessarily evil, but if God is not on the top of the food chain you have an addiction. You are worshiping and idol.

New birth is a term used to describe the new life the Spirit produces when we trust Jesus Christ. It’s also called regeneration, but perhaps the most popular term is born again (from a Greek word gennao, meaning “bear” or “beget”). When we are regenerated, we receive the new birth. We are all born into this world spiritually dead. When God in His grace regenerates our hearts, giving us new life, we become a new creation. God convicts us of our sin and enables us to believe in Christ. This belief unites us to Christ, and in this union we receive the benefits of His work on the cross – justification and forgiveness of sin and eternal life.
