You Must Be Born Again!

 

Among those who preach in Churches today, there are some who preach a confession-less, belief-less salvation.  In their presentation, they are very glib, very persuasive, and VERY deceptive!

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Just in case none has told you, if you want eternal life, everlasting life, eonian life, or however you may describe it, you MUST be born again!  There is no way around being born again!

If the Church you now attend and perhaps are a member of does not teach being born again, it does not teach the gospel of Christ Jesus!

John 3:16 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.


Belief in, trust in, faith in Christ Jesus is not an option!  It is mandatory!

Christian belief is not the human acknowledgement that there was a man named Jesus who once walked on this earth!

 

Christian belief is that Christ Jesus, the Son of God came among us. He lived a perfect life, was placed on trial by the Romans at the urging of the Jewish Priests.  He was scourged, crucified, died, buried and was resurrected from death.  And, at this very moment is sitting that the right hand of God the Father interceding for us.

Christian belief is the trusting faith that all Christians have. It goes far beyond what is seen with the eyes, or touched with the hands!

Without that faith you shall perish!

Some will tell you that perishing separation from God!  However, that is impossible. We can never be separated from an omnipresent God! 

Sin separates us from the blessings that God has waiting for us when we acknowledge that Christ Jesus is Lord!

When you are born again, you are spiritually reborn into God’s family never to be disenfranchised again!

Jesus was explicit! “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37)

You MUST be born again!

Have you noticed that during a normal birth, the head is born leading the way for the rest of the body?

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Christ Jesus is the head of the Church, and therefore He is the “Firstborn” of the Church!

He showed the way to be “born again.”

Christ Jesus trusted in God the Father as we are to trust in God the Son!

John 10:17-18
17
 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Christ believed the Father as we are to believe the Son!

John 5:22-23

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

 

Sadly, many today say they believe the Father, but those among them that do not honor the Son are plain ordinary liars!  Those who do not trust the Son do so because they do not trust the Father!  Therefore they dishonor both the Father and Son!

 

Turn today!  Believe the Son and He will give to you rest from works of sin that permeate your life!

 

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

In Christ Jesus you shall be saved from the sins that caused men to fail!

Trust Christ Jesus, the Son, and receive the blessings of the Father!
