The Significance of Three

Regenerate is Give up, Start up, and Step up!

Regenerate is saying yes to change, health, and life. Regenerate is a process of renewal, restoration, and growth. Regenerate is a journey of self inventory, practicing spiritual disciplines, resulting in a dynamic spiritual transformation.

The significance of the number Three: The number Three is a significant number with Regenerate. The number three points us to what is entire, real, essential, whole, complete, perfect, and divine. A look at the number Three helps us to understand the Trinity and who God is: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us these Three remain: Hope, Faith, and Love. Salvation and eternal life is available to all who believe because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are Three great divisions completing time in past, present, and future. We are fearfully and wonderfully made in body, soul, and spirit. The Three elements of growth are grace, truth, and time. The journey of Regenerate is about giving something up, starting something up, and stepping up in areas of your life. God wants to heal you, grow you up, and give your life purpose. Give up, Start up, and Step up today in your journey to be more like Christ: whole, complete, and perfect. The following are Three areas to Regenerate for healing, change, and growth, helping you on your path towards total, spiritual, transformation:

Spiritual Poverty helps us to Regenerate: Spiritual poverty develops a hunger for God. Those who know they are truly needy are more motivated to look beyond themselves to the Lord. As we grow with a hunger for God and connecting with others, spiritual poverty provokes us to move beyond spiritual immaturity into a deeper walk of faith. Spiritual poverty helps us grow deeper into truth. Spiritual poverty drives us to find solutions for our neediness and ultimately, to develop a total dependence on God.

Discipline helps us to Regenerate: Discipline is one of the necessary ingredients of spiritual growth. Discipline in the broadest sense is our training to learn self-control in some area of life because we are not always in control of ourselves. We become disciplined by God and others. We go through external correction and consequences so that we will make discipline a part of our internal life and experience. The word disciple refers to one who is in the learning process. For discipline to be learned, requires effort. It is a process we receive but we cannot be passive. It takes initiative and to be active.

Obedience helps us to Regenerate: We cannot change and grow spiritually without obedience. Obedience has to do with submitting our purpose, values, and choices to God. Obedience integrates all of life, encompassing all of us, both the internal (character) and the external (behavior).

Believe it, Think it, and Say it: I declare I am a new creation in Christ. I can do everything through Jesus who gives me strength. He is my Peace, my Joy, and my Light. I believe God will make me whole, complete, and perfect, in His image. Today, I chose to Regenerate as I pursue Him in all areas of my life and being. I believe and trust in God that He will fulfill His promise to finish the work He began in me.
