A young Scottish girl had just accepted Christ as her Savior. A week later when asked if her life was changed, she gave a beautiful reply.
"Something, I know, is changed! It may be the world; it may be my heart. There is a great change somewhere, I'm sure; for everything is different from what it once was."
What made the change? She had been "born again" from above.
What had she now received? She now had a new life with new desires, and new hopes, far superior and happier than the old.
And she now had a new object—to live no longer to herself, but to Him who died for her and rose again, and who waits to have her with Himself in that happy place above.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Cor. 5:17. It is a new life altogether.
