Born Again
“My intimacy with God has nothing to do with my performance; it has everything to do with his commitment to me. Jesus Christ offers you and me the relationship that he had with the Father before the world was formed (that’s part of what Jesus prayed in John 17:21-26, and Jesus gets his prayers answered). By his blood, and as a result of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross, you and I have a bold, free, fearless access to the Father, just like Jesus did (Ephesians 2:14-18, 3:12). We’ve been born again of the Spirit of God.”
John Wimber, Prayer: Intimate Communication (Anaheim: Vineyard Ministries International, 1997), 8.
