A life born in the Spirit John 3 is not a forgiveness passage. It is about "life from above." It's about spiritual life. It's about life in the Spirit and about those who are born of the Spirit. And when you come to the end of that great passage in Romans 8:1–14 you find, "All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." And as you study that passage you will realize, I think, that Paul is referring to a power that enters our life, a spiritual power that comes with regeneration. And this power is, of course, God Himself and all of the instrumentalities at His disposal, from the Holy Spirit Himself to the resurrected Christ in his Kingdom, to the power of the written Word, to the angelic ambassadors, to other individuals who are heirs of salvation, and to the spiritual life and treasures that are in the body of Christ, visible as well as triumphant.
