Born again... part 2

In a sermon by Driscoll he outlines the different ways that God works in the heart of those who are born again:

New master – God, no longer Satan
New creation – New people with a fresh, clean start with God
New identity – The core essence of who you are made new
New mind – Hungry for the Bible, & to learn more about God
New desires – No longer want to sin, but want to obey God
New emotions – We feel differently
New community – Craves new community around Jesus
New Power – Have the power to put our sins to death
New Freedom – No longer slaves to sin – but are free!
New Life! – with God

We should never forget or stop praising God for this! It’s also a great challenge - are we still seeing these things in our life?
