TRUE BELIEVERS ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS!

YOU MUST BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT!

John 3:3-7 - 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 (the physical birth) and of the Spirit (the 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.  

GOD ACCEPTS THE WORSHIP OF THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN!

John 4:23-24 - But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:  for the Father seeks such to worship Him.  God is a Spirit:  and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

EVEN BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS NEED HELP PRAYING!

Romans 8:22-27 - For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.  And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit (that is), the redemption of our body.  For we are saved by hope:  but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for (it)?  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities:  for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:  but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS LONG FOR THE LIKENESS OF THE LORD!

1 John 1-8-10; 3:1-2 - If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us. - - - Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons (children) of God:  therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not.  Beloved, now are we the sons (children) of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be:  but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

IN THE MEAN TIME (PUN INTENDED), LET GOD DO HIS WORK IN YOU!

Hebrews 13:20-21 - Now the God of peace, Who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever.  Amen.

AMEN!
