Foundation Set 1: The Birthing, Pt 2: The Liberating Secret
The Liberating Secret
By Tammy Lacock
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” (1 Peter 1:23)
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakes of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (1 Peter 2:4)
In Part 2 of this new study of the Birthing, Warren Litzman explains what he calls “the Liberating Secret.” He explains that in a natural, human birth, the father’s seed is what brings forth a birth, a new person, a new life. A mother cannot produce the seed, she can only bear it. And yet, it takes time before a woman knows she’s pregnant. She can go months before she discovers she’s pregnant. The father planting his seed in the woman is one simple act.
The same goes for our new spiritual birthing in Christ. Our Heavenly Father places the holy, incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23) of His Son, Jesus Christ, in everyone who believes in Him. It’s that simple. We need only to believe for our new birthing to take place. By God’s grace, we become brand-new creations, born again into a new, eternal life in Christ. Our old lives no longer matter. We don’t produce this new seed, and there is nothing we can do to produce it. It has to come from a father, our Heavenly Father. When this happens, we are miraculously made a brand-new creation, a new race of people. This is what it means to be born again. This is what it means to be saved. We no longer are subject to the confines of this world, to the sin nature. By Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, we were brought to life, and out of this corrupt life, by the sacrifice of His life.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV)
The liberating secret is that simply by believing, by the grace of God, we are saved. The person of Christ, God’s seed, is placed in us making bona fide children of God, joint-heirs with Christ.
Warren goes on to explain that religion has been dancing around this ultimate truth for thousands of years. As a result, most Christians have no idea who they really are. Christians have come to believe that they are sanctified by what they do or don’t do, while they are already complete in Christ by our Father birthing His Son in us. It’s an act of love, a gift, and cannot be aborted. The Life is in the seed of Christ, the person of Christ, and we now have His Life in us!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believers in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 KJV)
The liberating secret, the mystery revealed, is that the incorruptible seed of Christ has been placed in believers. Christ now lives in us! We are partakes of His divine nature now and throughout eternity. We are born again into a new life, the eternal life of Christ.
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27 KJV)
