Born Again

1 John 5:1–5

December 17, 2023 · Ron Hindt · 1 John 5:1–5

Have you ever felt like the Christian life is just a heavy list of rules you can’t quite keep? We often view "commandments" as a burden, but what if the very things God asks of us are actually the keys to our freedom and victory over the world?


In this study, Pastor Ron Hindt nears the conclusion of our series through 1 John titled Get Real. Moving verse-by-verse through 1 John 5:1-5, we explore the supernatural power of the "new birth" and how genuine faith isn't just about trying harder—it’s about trusting the One who has already overcome.


The Evidence of the New Birth: Discover why being "born again" is more than a religious catchphrase; it is a spiritual transformation that changes our genealogy and naturally results in a love for God’s family.


The Burdenless Commandments: Learn why God’s Word isn't "grievous" or heavy to those who love Him. Pastor Ron shares how, just as a mother doesn't find it a burden to care for her child because of love, our obedience becomes a joy when it’s fueled by our relationship with the Father.


Victory Over the World: Explore what it truly means to be an "overcomer." In a culture that tries to pull us into its mold, learn how your faith serves as the victory that overcomes the world’s pressure, systems, and temptations.


The "Frozen Chosen" vs. The Born Again: Pastor Ron shares a personal story about his own journey from having a "knowledge" of God in Christian school to finally surrendering his pride and experiencing the reality of being born again in the late 70s.
