Human beings are born again and made citizens of the kingdom not through a particular program, marketing effort, or something else devised by human beings. Rather, we are born again “through the living and abiding word of God” ( 1 Peter 1:23 23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. ), showing the importance of bringing this Word to people through the ordinary means of grace. In this message, Dr. Steven Lawson considers 1 Peter 1:22 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: –25 and the importance of preaching and other means of grace in bringing dead souls to life.
