What good does it do me if Christ was born in Bethlehem once if He is not born again in my heart through faith.
From 1 Peter 1: 22-24: “Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual affection, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. For all flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls.”
Origen of Alexandria (c. 185 – c. 253) was also known as Origen Adamantius. He was a Christian scholar and theologian who spent the first half of his life in Alexandria (Egypt).
Wow shows the importance of being born again!

Amen! I was further intrigued because he was writing these words in the 3rd century.
