  21. 4. Fatherhood over all who Believe, (Relational Fatherhood):

  22. This aspect of the divine Fatherhood is a most intimate relationship and abiding reality.

  23. There is a subtle difference between generation and regeneration.

  24. Generation is the begetting of life which is the starting point of physical existence.

  25. While regeneration is the begetting of spiritual life which is the starting point of spiritual existence.

  26. Jesus distinguished the difference between the two when evangelizing the Pharisee Nicodemus in John 3:1-7.

  27. Peter reiterated the significance of regeneration compared to generation in 1 Peter 1:3, 23-25a.

  28. Paul signified the difference of the regenerated spiritual life in 2 Cor 5:17.

  29. 2 Cor 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he isa new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”

  30. a. God’s Word testifies that men in their natural estate of generation are spiritually dead until born again (regeneration).

  31. b. Being born again gives the impartation of the Divine nature to the believer.

  32. c. Men are either perfectly lost, being unregenerate, or perfectly saved, being regenerate as to their relation to God.

  33. d. Regeneration is one of the 40 things God provides the believer at the moment of salvation.

  34. e. Being regenerated is made possible by God the Holy Spirit and results in legitimate Fatherhood on the part of God, and legitimate sonship on the part of the one who believes.

  35. f. This sonship, though it brings the believer into the position of an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ, is not the same as the Sonship of Christ which is from all eternity.

  36. 1) Christ never used the phrase “our Father”, other than when instructing believers how to pray in Mat 6.9.

  37. 2) He spoke of “my Father, and your Father; my God, and your God.”

  38. 3) Paul spoke of “our Father”, in opening or closing salutations, etc., Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:3; 2 Cor 1:2; Gal 1:3; Eph 1:2; Phil 1:2; 4:20; Col 1:2; 1 Thes 1:1; 3:11, 13; 2 Thes 2:16; Phile 1:3.

  39. g. Regeneration is God’s own plan by which the lost may enter into that relation to Himself which is infinitely near and real.

  40. h. Everyone who is born of God has become a son of God in the most vital and immutable meaning of sonship.

  41. And he has been received into the household and family of God.Mat 5:9; Luke 20:36; John 14:2; Rom 8:14-19; Gal 3:26

  42. i. The regenerate one may say as Christ did in Mark 14:36, “Abba Father”, a term of filial relation.Rom 8:14-17; Gal 4:6-7
