Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
The result of rebirth is increased service. One who is truly reborn does not sit on his laurels, frame his rebirth certificate, and wait passively to enter the pearly gates to his eternal reward. He is motivated and enlightened to work harder, to be more faithful and obedient, and to share what he has experienced with as many people as possible. If we are filled with energy and anxious desire to share and invite others to enjoy what we are enjoying, we have a sign that we have been born of God.
