First, the medium of communion with God is a growing conviction of faith. Remember, “Faith is . . . the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). True faith empowers us to increasingly see truth through God’s eyes — from a divine perspective. We “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8). New birth equips us to increasingly taste spiri...
Second, the location of this interaction with God is the heart, not simply the mind. In the work of sanctification, God never bypasses the mind. The intellect is crucial. Although the conviction that points to new birth passes through the mind, however, it occurs in the heart. “With the heart one believes and is justified” (Romans 10:10). “Faith is...

Just the opposite — they will increasingly enjoy com...

The wonder and awe of being born again, of being a Christian, is something that is freely available to all those who put their faith in Jesus alone for salvation. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” ( John 3:16 ).
