God the Almighty, Uncreated Life

God the Almighty, Uncreated Life,
List to my cry as I lie in the dust,
Fathomless glory all about Thee is;
Life Giver, my Creator, know Thee I must.
2
Oh, by the Cross, the passion of Thy Christ,
Oh, by the death of my Lord crucified,
From pow’r of darkness translate me today
Into the kingdom of Thy light to abide.
3
Fill from the center with Thine utmost filling,
Fill to circumf’rence, fill right to the brim;
Blaze forth, the light, the glory of Thy being
About and ’round me to the uttermost rim.
4
Life Uncreated, Thou most holy God,
Life-giving Spirit, oh, create in me
Something that speaks of Thee and of Thy glory,
Something compelling that will draw to Thee.
5
Father, I thank Thee that my quest is ended.
I reign in life with Christ upon the throne
How satisfied to triumph now in Him,
The Cross the touchstone that makes me His own.

That, in Addition to Our Natural Life, Our Being

Able to Have the Divine, Eternal Life of God

-----------------

Furthermore, regeneration means that, in addition to our natural life, we may have the divine, eternal life of God (3:16 , 36a) as the basis and means of our spiritual life and living. Regeneration is not that we may improve our behavior, that we may have religious zeal and live a devout life, or that we may pay attention to ethics and morality. Rather, regeneration is for us to have God’s eternal life in addition to our natural life; this is to have the uncreated life, which is God Himself, in addition to our original, created life. This divine, eternal life becomes the basis and means of our living. What God desires today is for all our living to be based on this life and by this life.

Not Only Receiving the Divine Life through Regeneration but Also Growing in the Divine Life with Regeneration as the Base

We not only receive the divine life through regeneration but also grow in the divine life with regeneration as the base.

This is my prayer today:

"Life-giving Spirit, oh, create in me

Something that speaks of Thee and of Thy glory,

Something compelling that will draw to Thee."
