REGENERATION

My disposition of sin is my claim to my right to myself.  I am my own god.  I am not holy nor likely to be. I am doomed to failure because “self” rules.  But Jesus is the Regenerator, the one who can put into me His own heredity of holiness.  Regeneration means that Jesus can put into any person the holy disposition that is in Himself, and all the biblical standards He gives are based on “that” disposition: His teachings are for the life He puts into us.  The moral transaction on my part is to recognize my need and yield my will to His will, allowing the Holy Spirit to form Christ in me. Without holiness, without Christ formed in us, no one shall see God.  This is the crucified life.
