1. NEW BIRTH & the HOLY SPIRIT
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26).

2. KEY PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER
THE PROVISIONS OF SALVATION
Justification: to declare just or righteous (see Romans 3:24).
Sanctification: separated unto God (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23).
Regeneration: change the way you think about sin (see 1 Corinthians 2:14).
Redemption: payment for the rescue of someone who is enslaved (see Galatians 3:13). 
Romans 3:24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
1 Thess. 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Cor. 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

3. APPLYING THESE PRINCIPLES
 Starting today, make a decision to:
Accept the privilege of seeing
(see 1 Corinthians 2:9).
Accept the privilege of believing
(see Romans 10:17).
Accept the privilege of giving the word of authority
(see Proverbs 1:23).
1 Corinthians 2:9  However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” (NIV)
Rom. 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.(NKJV)
Prov. 1:23 If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you.
