Initial Salvation

What happened when one is first born again is that God's life comes into your spirit by the Holy Spirit. Originally your spirit was dead, but then it becomes the first part of you that comes alive (Col. 2:13) unto God permeating through to your soul and then your body. Now your spirit is quickened. You are given a new heart and a new spirit (Ez. 36:26). This new spirit and this new heart is not a new one, but a renewed one that becomes new when before they were dead and insensitive to God. A new heart lets you think of God, desire after Him and love Him which becomes a Father and child relationship. Before you were dull, now you are not. Before you were undiscerning, now you discerning with an ability of eternal life.
