Have you been born again? Take trees as an example. They shed their leaves in the winter and their life is stored in their roots until the cold and darkness of winter has passed. In the spring, their life giving sap returns to the branches to generate new leaves. Another example is grain seeds or flower seeds or grass seeds. When planted, the seed dies to itself from its slumber and transforms itself to corn, or marigold or St Augustine grass. The process is the same for human beings. We must die to self. We must shed all of our vices, awake from our slumber in cold and dark existence with evil and be transformed into a member of the body of Christ. Your “spring” is a new life with Christ with the Holy Spirit as sustainer of your new birth.
