Closing Evidence Of Regeneration
This sermon addresses the following points:
• Linking the enmity between the seed of Satan and that of the woman (Genesis 3), with the enmity between the old and new natures residing in the soul of a regenerate sinner
• Distinguishing between the first and second births, as expounded by Christ in John 3
• Examining the origin and nature of the first birth—Genesis 1 and 2, Psalm 51, Jeremiah 17, Matthew 15, Galatians 5, Romans 7 and 8, John 6
• Examining the origin and nature of the second birth—Ephesians 2 and 4, John 15, 1 John 3
• Showing the distinction between the old and new natures
• Pointing out the delusion and false profession of unregenerate sinners when they fail to distinguish between the old and new natures
• Pointing out the confusion and intense frustration of regenerate sinners when they fail to distinguish between the old and new natures
• Explaining the folly of “progressive sanctification” and its ill affects upon a believer’s walk with the Lord
• Showing the enmity that exists between the old and new natures
• Several texts are read against the backdrop of the foregoing teachings, shedding light on the nature of the believer’s sanctification (growth in grace)—Galatians 5, Colossians 3, Romans 6 and 7
• Highlighting the significance of a believer’s inner conflict between the old and new natures, as evidence that he/she has been born again, and is therefore numbered among God’s elect people
