Born Again

[Pilgrim]

When we repent and follow Jesus we are born again—we become His disciple.

JESUS said,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of GOD.
--------------------------------------------------------------JOHN 3:3

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

1 Corinthians 15:50
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

John 3:6
Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.…

 

[Pilgrim]

 

[frienden thalord]

Amen peoples amen. The flesh profits nothing . YE must be born again.
I have come a Light into this world , that all who follow me shall not abide in darkness of sin
but shall walk in the LIGHT.
Be blessed peoples and praise the Lord. oh yes I say PRAISE THE LORD PEOPLES

 

[sdowney717]

It is more of the idea, if you can see the kingdom then you have been born of God.
What comes first the seeing or the being born of the Spirit?
See, a lot of people have this reversed.

Are you a berean type believer or a mocker of spiritual truths.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
You can not do any of this 'seeing' without being first born again.

JESUS said, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD.
So he can't perceive, notice, discern, discover, turn the eyes, the mind, his attention, observe, experience or know anything at all regarding who Christ is. So he can not then believe in Christ unless he is born again first.

DOES ANYONE really believe the scripture here? Or is the scriptural truth too painful to your idea of fairness to bear? We are saved by grace alone, not of ourselves in any fashion. There are none who seek for God, all have turned away. So you must be born again to perceive who Christ is, and if you don't believe you won't be entering into the kingdom. Christ is the only way into the kingdom of God. You must become a new creation in Christ, His workmanship to SEE the kingdom of God.

John sums it up by saying so he that loves NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS NOR HIS BROTHER
knows NOT GOD. And the love that comes from GOD.........will correct any brethren in any error.
For the Love that comes From GOD.....desires none to perish.
JESUS . did all to correct , warn , heal , feed, rebuke , remind etc
putting the welfare of others above his own life.
I see this pattern very deeply embedded in all the writings from the apostels.
ITS as though JESUS actually LIVED IN THEM. . AND HE DID.
evidence of who is truly in us........can be seen. the tree, no matter what physcology or man says
CAN be seen by its fruits. And the fruit of the wicked is to Sin
But those in Christ have crucified the affections and lusts of the flesh.
This is why the early church if sin was spotted in amember....they went fast to work
doing the example of correction that JESUS had taught .
Mans pattern has failed the churches. BUT GODS never will.

Amen.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to trust in man. —Psalm 118:8

 

[John919]

Being Born again is by the Grace of God. When you see how God choose us according to his good pleasure and we all being born spiritually blind and dead to righteousness chasing after sin and the things of this world. God started a work in our stony hearts turning them into a good soil ready to receive his true living word with joy growing deep roots in his word revealing to us that Jesus Christ is the living word of God that for our sake was put in human flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit growing up into the perfect man revealing the Kingdom of Heaven to those who were given ears to hear. Jesus being perfect in all the word and law of God offered up himself according to the promise of God doing the will of the Father would loved us while we were yet in sin. Jesus Christ bought us with his suffering and Life for all that will believe on him. You can truly only love Jesus if you know him. What ever you love above all will be accounted as your God. Ephesians 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Trust fully in the Faith of Jesus Christ and not that of your own conception and you will understand why the word Elect is found so many times in scripture. ELECT IN THE BIBLE

John 3:16 (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 6:37-45 (KJV)

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.


John 17:2 (KJV)

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
