Background Scripture: (> I John 4. Devotional Reading: I Timothy 6: 11-21. There is a lot of controversy about what it means to be "born again," a term that seems to be but one more way that followers of Jesus Christ separate themselves from one another ? and from him! The term, of course, comes from John 3: 3 and the story about MSicodemus. Jesus tells the pharisee that one must be "born anew" (or "born from above") if he is to see the kingdom of God. What does this term mean? 1 What is John trying to say to us by including it in his gospel? Unfor tunately, Christians cannot agree on their answers. But, if we read all of John's gospel and his epistles as well, it becomes apparent that the ^purpose of the "new birth," as well as the evidence for it, is love. John follows the story of Nico demus with the well-known assur ance that "God so love the world that he gave his only son..." And I throughout his gospel and epistles he stresses over and over that, as Christ has loved us, sO we must love one another. "New birth" is men tioned but a few times in the fourth gospel, whereas love is its theme. *But in John's first epistle, he brings "the two concepts together: "Belov ed. let us love one another; for love is of God. and he who loves is born of God and knows God" (1 John 4: 7). In other words, whatever else the "new birth" entails, the mark of it, the purpose of it, is to love one another. As Christians we may like each other, at best, or tolerate each other and discipline our combative find hostile impulses. But "loVe one another"? Is it possible Lord? Is that what you really want from us? And if it is, can we do it? Isn't that what Jesus was all about? To show us ? not just to tell us ? to demonstrate to us that it is not beyond our human capacity to love one another the same way that Christ loved us. "hi this is love, not that we have loved God but that he gloved us and sent his son to be the voxpiation of our sins" (4:10). The love that took Jesus to his cross was a gift that was given him by God. And that same gift can be given to us. if we really want it. What blocks the gift of love, is our hate. For hate is not just something that happens in us. not just a feeling that takes us over, but it is something that we hold onto because we enjoy it. Hate is not a -?disease against which there is no "defense, but the serpent we invite into our lives and hold onto. So. "If any one says, '1 love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen" (4:20). If we continue to hate it is because we choose to hate rather than love. All of us arc called by God to be "born anew" and the purpose of *that rebirth is to love.
