1 Peter 1:23
Being born again. At conversion. See John 3:1-6.
Not of corruptible seed. A birth always implies a moving cause.
In this birth the new life is planted by "incorruptible" seed, even
by the word of God. See also Acts 10:36 Jas 1:18. The gospel
preached and lodged in the heart, "the power of God to salvation"
(Romans 1:16), is the power that moves the soul to a new life.
Which liveth and abideth forever. God's word is living and eternal.
It has life in it and hence communicates life. See Hebrews 4:12.
