DON'T LET HATERS SILENCE YOU; LOVE THEM BY SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH THEM!

WHEN PEOPLE BELIEVE THE GOSPEL, THEY ARE BORN AGAIN!

John 1:11-13 - He (Jesus) came unto His own (Jews), and His own received Him not.  But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons (children) of God, even to those who believe on His name:  who were born (again), not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 3:3-8 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus said unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old?  Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water (physical birth) and of the Spirit (spiritual birth), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.  The wind blows where it listeth (wills), and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell from where it comes, and where it goes:  so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

1 Peter 1:23-25 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever.  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.  The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away:  but the Word of the Lord endures forever.  And this is the Word which by the Gospel* is preached unto you.

*  The Word of God that has the power of God to save us is the Gospel (see Rom. 1:16).  The Gospel message is that Jesus died for the sins of mankind, that He was buried, and the Father raised Him from the dead, all as the Scriptures prophesied would happen (see 1 Cor. 15:3-4).  When a person hears the Gospel and believes it, he or she is born again and is saved from the penalty of his or her sins, and from the wrath of God which shall be poured out in the last days (see 1 Th. 1:10; 5:9).

1 John 5:1 - Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:  and every one that loves Him that begot, loves Him also that is begotten of Him.

IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE THE GOSPEL, YOU WILL TELL OTHERS!

If you are born again, you will publicly confess your faith in Jesus, and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will want to serve Him as your Lord.  For with the heart man believes and God gives him the righteousness of Christ (see 2 Cor. 5:21), and with the mouth, he obeys the Lord's instructions to share the Gospel to the ends of the earth.  For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed.  (Based upon Rom. 10:9-11).
