3Every child is important and has purpose. Each person born into this world is a gift from God, and babies are a reward (Psalm 127:3). You are God's idea. You are a part of the family institution. When your parents gave birth to you, it was a physical birth. When you received Christ as your Savior, you experienced a spiritual birth. This means you were born of God's Spirit (Nature). You became a child of God, and He is your heavenly Father. Now that His Spirit lives inside of you, you have a new ID. You didn't change on the outside, but you are brand new inside. Now is the time to get to know the new you. There's joy in learning who you are in Christ. As you learn, you will want to learn more and more! Discovering the new you is life changing. Ready? Set.
