THE NEW BIRTH

in #sc-v5 years ago

«Jesus answered him: - Of course, I tell you that the who is not born again can not see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus asked him: - How can a man be born? being old? Can you enter the second time
your mother's belly and be born? Jesus answered: - Of course, Truly I tell you, the one who is not born of water and the Spirit he can not enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh, meat is; and what is born of the Spirit, spirit is. Do not you wonders that I said to you: "You need to be born of
new "». John 3.3-7

There are believers who have not understood what is the New birth. The word of God teaches us that when a Christian receives Jesus as his Lord and Salvador, his spirit is born again, but his soul is not. The word of God teaches that the spirit and the soul They are different.
«And the same God of peace may sanctify you completely; and all your being, spirit, soul and body, be kept irreproachable for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ».
1 Thessalonians 5.23
«The word of God is alive, effective and sharper than all sword of two edges: it penetrates until dividing the soul and the spirit, the joints and the marrow, and discerns the thoughts and the intentions of the heart ». Hebrews 4.12
What does the new birth do in our spirit?
«I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will remove from your flesh the heart of stone, and I will give you a heart of flesh ». Ezekiel 36.26
• It gives us the possibility to communicate with God.
• It allows us to know Him and His will. «So also we, from the day we heard it,
we do not stop praying for you, and asking you to be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual intelligence ». Colosenses 1.9
• It gives us the ability to be true worshipers.
«But the hour is coming, and now it is, when the true ones worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth;
because also the Father such worshipers seek to adore ». John 4.23
In conclusion, there are many believers who have to go through that process with the deep conviction of than the perfect redemption, effected by Jesus Christ in the cross, it was more than enough to free them and heal them from the hurts of the past.

@mariela God adopts those who are born again as their children. Their situation is similar to that of those who have been legally adopted, since they change their status and become part of the family of God
Why is it necessary for a person to be born again?
Jesus said: "Unless one is born again, he can not see the kingdom of God" (John 3: 3). So "being born again" prepares a person to be king with Christ in the Kingdom of God, who rules from heaven. Therefore, the Bible presents the "new birth" as the opportunity to receive an inheritance that "is reserved in heaven"
