He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creation. James 1:18

“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities, and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
