New Birth","description":"

Do we really need a new birth?

Why? Who says so?

How can we become “a new creation”?

Peter Mead takes us to Genesis where our problems began. Our hearts are wilfully sinful—so much so that we can be described as “dead.” Only a new birth like the one Jesus described to Nicodemus can provide the cure.

Peter Mead shows us something of the excitement and joy of becoming “a new creation.” Because of God’s gracious and generous heart, we can have true and abundant life: in Christ. Nothing could be more necessary or more wonderful than the gift God is offering you—don’t settle for less!
