I think it is not out of our God’s power and mercifulness that He, thankfully, allows us to be reborn again and again. In His eyes, I know, we were born once, and through His sacrifice, He forgives us once and for all. In our minds, however, His “once and for all” equals our “over and over again.”
I can’t tell you how many times I have been born again. I have specific memories of total healing on several occasions, and I can remember the precise moment I felt washed by the blood of the lamb, pure … again.
Why is it we feel like we need to bathe so much when the Bible clearly tells us Jesus died once for all (Romans 6:10)?
The answer is simple: because we keep getting dirty!
