A spirit “born of God” means we are concerned about living as children of God ought to. One young man decided to take Christ seriously and soon his old friends noticed a profound change in his lifestyle. They complained to him, “You are not fun anymore. You don’t do any of the things we used to do together. You don’t get drunk with us, don’t sleep around, you don’t gamble or do anything we all used to do.”

“You have it all wrong,” he replied. “I do all those things that I want to do. I get drunk as many times as I want. I sleep around anytime I want. The thing is, I don’t want to any more. It is my wants that have changed.”
