It is one thing to acknowledge God, and recognize Jesus as His Son, but unless we give ourselves over to them, becoming transformed into new men and women, and longing for the return of Christ, then the job of faith, and righteousness, has not been completed in us. Newborn babies can feel the air about them, but until they take the first breath into their lungs, then life is not fully established in them. We may say that we have been born again, but have we breathed in Christ, and established the life of His New Covenant within us? Have we been transformed from certain death, and given an ever increasing, and joyous, life?
