Millions of people hesitate on the brink of being born again because of their fear of where it will lead them. Implicit to Saul of Tarsus being born again as Paul the Apostle was his surrender to the will of God. This is an inescapable sequel to everyone who comes to Christ for salvation. Paul defined the doings of a born-again believer as a life of "understanding what the will of the Lord is" (Eph. 5:17) and then doing it.

The will of God is the believer's total concern.

What is the surest way to know the will of God? The willingness and resolution to do it. Said Jesus: "If any man will do his will, he shall know" (John 7:17). As a Christian you can be absolutely sure of one thing: Christ has a work for you to do which no one else can do as He wants you to do it.

Reverend and Mrs. Victor McMannus told me recently of their former maid, Angela Watson. My wife and I were staying with them the first winter we were married. I had apparently said to Angela: "Do you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord?" Replying that she didn't, but would like to, she knelt down then and there and gave her life to Christ. Shortly after, she went to the Faith Mission Bible Training Institute in Edinburgh, through nurses training, and then to Nigeria. There she has been leading people to Christ and helping in the healing of bodies for eighteen years.

It seems to me from the Scriptures that one of the surest evidences that someone has been born again is that he immediately feels it is God's will to reach someone else for Christ.

Olga Brady's father had been a German gold miner and her mother was a Filipino beauty queen. She had married an American lawyer, and the couple lived in one of the most palatial mansions in Upper Luzoni. But suddenly, Brady died and Olga grew bitter and morose. They had had no children because they wanted to be swingers in the social circuit. So Olga was overtaken by a sense of complete alienation and despair. She felt that the Filipinos treated her as a European, and the Europeans treated her as if she were Filipino. She locked herself into her house alone and vegetated. She often thought of suicide. Like Frank Sinatra's song, she just wanted to curl up and die.

Then one day, a knock came on her door. It was a kindly person inviting her to a gospel meeting in the University of Baguio gymnasium. She came only to escape her melancholy. Sitting up in the balcony, she heard a knock at her heart's door. It was Jesus. Would she open her life to Him? She decided she would. And she did. And the very next night she brought her doctor to the service. He, too, was born again. And when we left Mile High Baguio in the Northern Phillipines, it seemed that Olga Brady was lighting up the whole spiritual sky with her glowing testimony to the power of the Risen Christ.
