Are You Alive?

“Years ago, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan said publicly that by no means every Christian can remember the time when he was born again. After the meeting, someone challenged his statement. The great English expositor looked at him and said: ‘Are you alive?’ ‘Why, of course, I am,’ his questioner answered. ‘But,’ Dr. Morgan went on, ‘do you remember when you were born?’ And on being answered in the negative, he asked: ‘Then how do you know you are alive?’ ‘Because I am living now,’ was the reply. ‘Exactly,’ said Dr. Morgan. ‘Some Christians may not remember the moment of their new birth. But they are spiritually alive and know it, and that is what counts.'” (The Pattern of God’s Truth, p. 97)
