"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God." 1 John 5:1
Preaching on this verse in 1694, John Howe described what it looks like for a person to be “born of God,” that is, regenerate:
“. . . a mighty power from God coming upon their souls, conforming them to God, addicting them to God, uniting them with God, making them to center in God, taking them off from all this world. . . . It is a great thing to be a Christian!”
-- Edmund Calamy, editor, "The Works of the Rev. John Howe" (London, 1846), page 896
