1.) What in man is born of the Holy Spirit? The deadened and comatose damaged human spirit -
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (John 3:6)
The human small
s spirit is BORN of the divine capital
S Holy Spirit.
2.) If the human small
s spirit is made alive and born WHAT exactly is the catalyst to bring this about? The cause is that Jesus Christ as Righteousness is imputed to you in your belief in Him.
"But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the [human] spirit is life because of righteousness." (Rom. 8:10)
You have been FORGIVEN, JUSTIFIED, CLEANSED of your past sins and your innermost human small s
spirit becomes divine life and living BECAUSE of righteousness.
3.) What is the result of being born again? The Holy Spirit JOINTLY with your human spirit witnesses that you are now organically related to God as His begotten child.
"The [capital S] Spirit Himself witnesses with our [small s human] spirit that we are children of God." (Rom. 8:16)
He is no longer just "O God, my
Creator " but "Oh Daddy, Papa, my Father, My dear
Abba Father."
The connection is established for eternity.
God was just your Creator. After being born again God is your begetting Father the source of your spiritual divine life.
Now you are reborn being justified and joined to God. He is now more intimately the Papa, the Daddy, so sweet and intimately your
Abba Father.
