WHAT IS "BORN AGAIN?"

SIN RESULTS IN SPIRITUAL DEATH!

FAITH IN THE GRACE OF GOD RESULTS

IN ONE BEING BORN AGAIN!

Ephesians 2:1-9 (in my words) - God had made you alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins; because in the past, you lived according to the ways of this world, according to the ways of Satan, the prince of the power of the air, the evil spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:  among whom also we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and of our mind; and we were, by nature, the children of wrath, even as everyone else.  But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His great love which He had for us, even when we were dead in sins, has made us born again, together with Christ, and has raised us up together, and made it possible for us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:  so that in the ages to come, He might show forth the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.  For by grace are we saved through faith; and not of ourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, so that none of us can boast.

John 1:11-13 (in my words) - Jesus came unto His own people, Israel, and they rejected Him.  But whosoever accepted Him, whether Jew or Gentile, to them He gave the power to become the children of God, even to them who believed 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 the will of God.

John 3:1-7 (in my words) - There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, who came to Jesus by the cover of night, and he said to Jesus, Honorable Sir, we know that you are a teacher from God:  for no mere man can do the miracles You do, except God be with him.   Jesus said unto him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born again when he is old; can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?  Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born physically of his mother, and also spiritually of the Spirit, 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 to you, You must be born again.

1 Peter 1:18-25 (in my words) - You know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from the worthless religious traditions of your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:  Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by Him do believe in God, Who raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.  Therefore, seeing that you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto sincere love of the brethren, see that you fervently love one another with a pure heart:  being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever.  For all flesh is like grass, and all the glory of man is like the flower of grass.  The grass withers, and the flower falls away:  but the Word of the Lord endures forever.  And this is by the Word, the Gospel, which is preached unto you.

1 John 5:4-5 (in my words) - For whosoever is born again of God has overcome the world:  and this is the victory which overcomes the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God!

JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS,

HE WAS BURIED, AND HE ROSE

FROM THE DEAD JUST AS THE

SCRIPTURES SAID HE WOULD!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HIM?
