Introduction
Salvation is a regeneration or rebirth and a daily renewal of life by God’s Holy Spirit.
The word regeneration means to be regenerated or given new life; to be given a new birth; to be renewed or revived; to be spiritually reborn or converted.
Salvation is a spiritual rebirth; it is a person being born again by the Spirit of God.
The new birth is so radical a change in a person’s life that it is described as a washing which means a bath, a complete immersion.
Salvation is so dramatic it is just like the washing away of the old life and the receiving of a new life.
All that concerns a person’s old life is washed away, all the …
• sin and evil
• corruption and injustice
• selfishness and greed
• guilt and doubt
• dirt and immorality
• pollution and worldliness
• failure and shortcoming
The Spirit of God cleanses a person—immerses the person in the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ.
The Spirit of God through the blood of Christ washes away the old life and gives the believer a new life.
The Spirit of God regenerates a person, saves him from his old life and gives him a new life—a rebirth—spiritually creating him into a new person.
We are not to be conformed to this world.
The word conformed comes from the root word schema is the word we get our word Scheme from... which means plan, fashion, the outward form, the appearance of a man.
It is the appearance of a person that changes from day to day and year to year.
A man dresses differently for work than he does for an evening out.
A man looks different as a young man than he does as an older man.
His schema, his fashion, his outward appearance differs.
The word world in the simplest of terms means the world itself and everything in it because it is all corruptible.
The world, including the heavens and earth and all therein, is aging, deteriorating and dying; and it will pass away.
The world is not perfect: not in being, order, morality, or justice.
The believer is not to be conformed to this world.
Now note something: the world, the very fashion and appearance of the world …
• seems to be unending
lasting, permanent, and
• seems to offer the very best of everything
pleasure, enjoyment, happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction, completeness
Everything about the fashion and appearance of the world is a lie.
a mask, a masquerade.
Even the very spirit of the world has within it the seed of corruption.
The seed of corruption is seen in the acts of the world.
and its nature, in the terrible spirit of …
• selfishness
• greed
• anger
• hatred
• bitterness
• ungodliness
• savagery
• division
• war
• deceitfulness
• suffering
• conflict
• ignorance
• deterioration
• death
• sickness
• disease
• cursing
• pride
• disorder
• decay
Note two significant facts, facts that desperately need to be heeded by the world as well as by believers.
The world itself and everything in it shall pass away.
The believer is not to conform, that is, fashion himself after the world …
• not to follow the fellowship of the world
• not to follow the fashion and lusts of the world
• not to follow the course of this world
• not to follow the god of this world, Satan
• not to follow the leaders of this world
• not to follow the false security of the world
• not to follow after the deceitful riches of this world
• not to live in pleasure on earth
• not to follow the crowd of the world
