3. The third result of the New Birth is found in Rom. 12:2, where we read, +"And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."+ From this it appears that _the third result of the New Birth is in outward transformation of our lives by the inward renewing of our minds so that we no longer are fashioned according to this world_. Of course the regenerated man does not at once manifest perfectly that of which he has the germ in himself. He begins the new life just as we begin our natural lives, as a babe, and he must grow. As Peter puts it in 1 Pet. 2:2, we must +"As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that we may grow thereby."+ This new life must be fed and developed. It is irrational, and unwarranted by the Word of God, to expect one who has just been born again, and who is consequently a babe in Christ, to be as perfect in character as one who was born years ago and who has grown to maturity. But the moment we are born again we receive in germ all the moral perfection that is to be ours when this germ is fully developed within us and comes to its perfect manifestation. 4. The fourth result of the New Birth we find in 1 John 5:1, +"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God."+ _The fourth result of being born again is that the regenerated man believes that Jesus is the Christ._ Of course this faith that comes from the New Birth is a _real faith_. The faith that John here speaks of is not a faith that is a mere opinion, but that real faith that Jesus is the anointed of God that leads us to enthrone Jesus as King in our lives. If you are not making Jesus King in your heart and life you have not been born again. But if you are making Jesus King in your heart and life and absolute ruler of your thoughts and conduct, then you are born again, for +"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is Christ is begotten of God."+ 5. The fifth result of being born again we find three verses further down in this same chapter, 1 John 5:4: +"For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world."+ The _fifth result of being born of God is that the one thus born again overcomes the world_. The world is at variance with God, +"The whole world lieth in the Evil One"+ (1 John 5:19). It is under the dominion of the Evil One, ruled by his ambitions and ideas. The world is at variance with God in its commercial life, social life, domestic life, and all the phases of intellectual life and educational life, and is constantly exercising a power over each of us to draw us into disobedience to God (see 1 John 5:3); but the one born of God by the power of the faith that comes through being born again, gets the victory over the world. He gets the victory over the world's ideas, purposes, plans, ambitions. He gets the victory over the world in his personal life, domestic life, commercial life, political life, intellectual life every day.
