Being “born again” to new life in Christ is not a matter of acquiring a new religious identity. Instead, it’s about being adopted into a new family—a family that has a rightful claim on your life. Alistair Begg points out that believers are responsible for actively resisting sin, guided and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. As we obey the Spirit’s leading to live in a way that pleases our Father, we give evidence that we belong to Christ.
12So then, brothers,5 we are debtors, cnot to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you dput to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are eled by the Spirit of God are fsons6 of God. 15For gyou did not receive hthe spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of iadoption as sons, by whom we cry, j“Abba! Father!” 16kThe Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then lheirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, mprovided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
