Ye Must Be Forn Again Akjv

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.

Hello readers, Jesus said ye must be built-in once again. Why? Because ye must exist born once more. Why? Because ye must be built-in over again. It'due south not optional, it's compulsory. Y'all cannot Encounter or ENTER the kingdom of God without having been born again of the Spirit of God. Do you want to know God, do you hunger to know your true purpose, to find truthful happiness and fulfillment, to know the pregnant to life, for your being to make sense? … because all that lies in your connection to God. In him is life, he is light, he is expert. He is your Creator, you were created by him and for him, and thus without him, and existence so alienated from God that you cannot come across permit solitary enter his kingdom… you won't ever have the lite of true life, true meaning, true fulfillment, true purpose. Your father and my begetter Adam sinned… and sin has passed upon all men, and all have sinned. There'south a neat gulf between God and human being, that's why you lot must be born once more. You demand to exist born into the family of God, you demand to be born of God to be a son of God, to be his child… in order for your center'due south cry to exist Abba Begetter. In order to love God, we need God's dear to be shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. When you are built-in again you get a heavenly Father, and you are born into the kingdom of God, you are changed forever, you are a citizen of heaven, you lot are made spiritually alive in Christ Jesus, you are saved, forgiven, redeemed, you lot have eternal life. The claret of Jesus Christ washes abroad our sin. But before the good news we must hear the bad news, in the same mode earlier Jesus came, nosotros had to encounter John the Baptist outset… preparing the style of the Lord.

You meet, our first nascence… we all accept had one… we were all born into this globe… and we all knew to sin… didn't we? Noone had to teach us to be selfish, to be proud, to lust, to covet, to steal, to blaspheme, to lie. It'south in us. It'due south our nature. It'southward who nosotros are. It's what we do. Our nature is sinful… and that's why… Ye must be built-in again. It'south expected, information technology's mandatory, that'southward why Jesus said marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born once more. Y'all don't need to marvel, and it'south not unattainable. The Bible says the word is about thee, even in thy oral cavity and in thy heart. You tin be built-in once again. You lot can know truth. Y'all can exist set free. Our outset birth has a nature that is sinful, that is fallen, that is nether the wrath of God. Hell is the endpoint of someone who has not been born again, who has not been saved, who has not believed the record of the Son of God. You can get information technology alone every bit Adam and Eve did… look where it got them… or you tin can humble yourself and turn to Jesus Christ. You need to be born again, you need to be made new, and you can only be fabricated new in Christ Jesus. He's the only ane who tin make you new, he's the only one who has ability to do something like that! Just as he's the only ane risen from the dead and live today, and he's the only i upon whom expiry, hell, sin, and Satan has no power, and he'southward the only 1 who'south God. No other religion can make you built-in again, nothing tin can change a human inside, all simulated religion and man'south all-time efforts to pull himself upwards by his ain bootstraps does is whitewash the exterior and cocky medicate, but information technology cannot purge your conscience, information technology cannot cleanse your sin, it cannot give you a new heart, a new nature, it cannot give you lot life… it takes God, Creator God to do that.

People don't SEE God and his kingdom today. But it doesn't mean his kingdom doesn't dominion over all, because information technology does. Only here on earth there is a unlike kingdom, the kingdom of the world of who the prince thereof is the Devil. But God's kingdom is greater, that's why when Jesus came, the devils went running. You tin can be here on globe, but in a completely dissimilar kingdom spiritually, when you are born again you stop belonging to this evil, doomed world and you are born into the kingdom of God. But unless the Holy Spirit of God works in your life, y'all can't and won't see why yous need to be saved, you won't go Christianity, you won't get God'southward give-and-take… it's foolish to you… it's a joke to yous… information technology'due south an crime to you. And so if you lot tin can't see God's kingdom, you certainly can't enter it. If you decline Jesus Christ, you've rejected God, as he is God, you cannot know God exterior of Jesus Christ, he is the only way to God. Simply a saved person has a concept of the kingdom of God… merely what is the kingdom of God? The Bible says information technology is righteousness, joy, peace in the Holy Ghost. In the casting out of devils Jesus said the kingdom of God is come up upon us. You see, the kingdom of God is spiritual, information technology's spiritual life, it'southward a new fauna in Christ Jesus. People who are characterized by righteousness, joy, peace, holiness, purity, truth, low-cal… where one time we all walked co-ordinate to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that at present worketh in the children of disobedience. Devils are evil spirits, y'all can have a clean, pure, true, excellent, mighty, overcoming spirit through the Holy Spirit living in you whereas y'all used to take an unclean, unrighteous, unholy, dark, lying, hard, disobedient, rebellious dead spirit.

Whereas you were built-in i manner, when you lot get saved you are changed past God. How did it all happen? Because you lot learnt yous were a sinner, you lot saw a need to repent of your sins, you saw yous had a huge sin debt earlier God and cypher to pay it with. Many people practice indeed try paying it, earning their way to heaven, or the heaven they imagine themselves through their own goodness or efforts. But acquire from Cain, who made the mistake and the Bible documents information technology so you don't accept to go in his way.  He brought the work of his hands, the all-time of his garden… and God rejected information technology. He believed in God, it wasn't he had the wrong God, but his error was in that he tried coming to God his own fashion. Man likes to practice that, man desire's to do it his style, according to his reasoning, wisdom and understanding. It'due south roots prevarication in pride. Natural men are by nature the children of pride. Cain offered a sacrifice that was rejected. You may take seen in the Bible that sacrifice is e'er necessary when coming to God. Why is that?

Well sacrifice is because mankind owes God. Sacrifice is to atone for transgression, to gratify God, to get him to bless you. Just why was any sacrifice needed? Because man sinned. Man transgressed against God. Man fell, human being became dark, man became sinful. God is good, then good that he judges sin, so proficient that zero bad can dwell in his presence. Nobody likes a corrupt, evil judge who won't put a murderer or pedophile away… how much more should Holy God judge sin? There is wrath against sin, and your sin demands sacrifice, the shedding of blood to atone for your actions. All through the Old Testament they brought animals, but the claret of animals couldn't satisfy God, that's why they needed to be offered once more and again. The blood of animals couldn't change someone's heart, someone's soul, someone's nature. Neither could it pay our debt. No amount of innocent animals slain satisfied the demands of holy justice. But God had a programme, a plan ordained earlier the world began.

God entered his own creation himself and sent Jesus Christ his Son, God in the flesh, to the earth, built-in as a human being beingness into this earth. He lived a perfect life headed towards a perfect death. Where he would offer himself as our sacrifice in our place, for each of us, that's everyone that's every lived! God poured out his wrath that was coming to each of united states of america, all on his Son Jesus Christ. And the cede of God'due south perfect, holy, just, pure Son was accepted, and thus we can be forgiven in the sight of God based on Jesus Christ. And not but the forgiveness of sin, but Jesus came to give u.s.a. NEW life. Then many people don't even understand what salvation is. Salvation is a new creature. Because what started with seeing we are a sinner, guilty before God, our hearts and consciences condemning ourselves… why do you think people hate preaching of God's word on sin. Because it hits the heart, cutting to the heart… that'south why they stoned Stephen, it'south why the murdered God's prophets who came to them saying to apologize of sin. If you tin can't accept truth about yourself you CANNOT be saved.

Jesus came non only to pay for our sin, merely to give usa life, and he gives u.s.a. his life. We are so fallen, our beginning nascency so unsalvageable… he just creates a new person in us. And that new person is created by God in us when the Holy Spirit comes to live in us. That all happens that moment nosotros repented of our sin and believe in Jesus Christ… by the fashion… Jesus Christ is not dead… he's alive, so it'due south placing faith in the God who is alive, who death could not hold! So something real happens, something that can exist talked nigh forever but only ever understood individually when you actually repent on your sin and call upon his name for your salvation. When y'all become saved, y'all receive the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit given to yous to make yous a new person. You become in Jesus Christ spiritually, and he in you lot.

You become all God's, he changes you totally. H2o baptism is an ordinance for a believer, but information technology represents a greater spiritual truth, the spiritual baptism that happens when we believe. Going into the water and nether the water, that'due south what happens when we were immersed fully in repentance and by the Holy Spirit. Picture show a person under h2o in baptism, that's what happens spiritually when you lot become saved, your entire body, soul, spirit comes under conviction of the Holy Spirit, and all of you gets saved by God. He doesn't save a scrap of y'all, he saves y'all freely, fully and forever. You become his, and his yours.

Many people aren't truly saved considering they love their life. Jesus said if you lot love your life you lot'll lose it, but if you hate your life you lot'll save it. Anyone truly saved knows what this ways. Considering salvation is seeing who we are, WHAT we are earlier God, in lite of his holy commandments and his standard of righteousness and the condemnation associated with our complete violation of them, and furthermore but seeing the darkness and helplessness and hopelessness and vanity that we are in… and the cords of lust and pride that have jump us upwardly and choked us out. Why practise y'all need to be built-in again if you honey your first nativity? Respond: you don't. If you love your sin, as many do, than y'all won't get saved.

The Bible says in Galatians 6:15 – For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. A new creature… ye must be born once more… that's what conservancy is… a new person. That'southward why truthful salvation can pause every chain… every addiction, whatsoever vice, any hold Satan has on you. Because that new person is sinless, the wicked i cannot touch him, that new person overcomes the world. Because that new person is born of the Spirit of God. Imagine that… God's Spirit, that same Spirit that moved on the face of the deep in Genesis 1! That same Spirit by which Jesus lived, walked and talked. That aforementioned Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead. How could yous not be changed.

In the book of Galatians, Paul was addressed a situation where people were getting circumcised because they were beingness told they had to do that to get saved. God through Paul established in this book that information technology doesn't matter what yous do, you cannot save yourself. Circumcision or uncircumcision, no thing what you practise, you cannot save yourself nor continue yourself saved nor find a way to merit it. What matters is a new creature. Ye must exist born again. Proficient works follow salvation, they are not salvation. If yous are a new creature, you will do new works… but that'due south because y'all firstly are a new fauna, with a new heart.

Jesus didn't come preaching circumcision. He didn't say we must get circumcised to get to heaven. Because there is nothing nosotros can practise. Jesus preached to repent of our sin and believe on him. He did say do this and do that, because they are the right things to do… not considering they save us. And truly we only want to practise them if we are saved, considering someone who is saved love'southward God and hence will dearest God'due south word. If you marry someone you lot love dearly, you'll beloved when they speak to you. How much more than should we dear the word that proceeds forth from the very rima oris of God? Truth be told, people don't keep God's commandments because they don't beloved God. For this is the love of God, that we go along his commandments. If ye dear me, keep my commandments Jesus said.

Nosotros all need to be saved. Noone is above and nobody is below, we all accept that first birth… we all got her being born into the world by a male parent and mother. People say we were created in the prototype of God. That's true, we originally were, but Adam sinned… and we are born in Adam's fallen paradigm, non that perfect image of God. If yous truly remember yous are in the image of God, nevertheless you lust and are proud and swear and expletive and lie… is that really the paradigm of God beingness built-in out? Only when y'all have the Holy Spirit, simply when built-in over again can you live in the image of God. Because the Bible says were are CHANGED into that image, even as by the Spirit of God! That'due south what the Holy Spirit does… he changes us so completely we won't even be able to recognize who we were, how we could love and do those thing we used to do.

Y'all see, yous must be born again. Practise y'all see a need to be born once again? Are you tired of those chains on your soul, that expressionless spirit that you lot accept? A spirit that is unclean, that is evil, that is overtaken of the devil… a spirit that fears, that is weak, that gets addicted, that is in slavery to and cannot say no to sin. How most that darkness enveloping your soul… just like the darkness that was on the face of the deep in Genesis ane? We can, and practise, effort all number of substitutes, be it reformation or organized religion or occupying ourselves with pleasures and pursuits… only nothing can fill up that void that God created to be filled. And the globe was without form and void. God did not create it to exist void, and you were not created to be devoid of the Spirit of God… and today the Spirit of God moves on the waters of your heart… but do you have ears to hear, a middle that will respond to the convicting of the Holy Spirit?

The Bible says we are all sinners. There is none good, no not one. That's Bible. We take all broken the holy law of God, we have violated the standard of God. Wait into your own conscience… what does censor mean? Information technology means "with knowledge". God put the cognition of him in yous honey reader, he put the knowledge of right and incorrect in you. You know… but maybe you lot've chosen to bury that conscience God gave y'all, to darken the low-cal God gave y'all. The Bible says Jesus has lighted every human that has come into the world. You have been given light… but what take you washed with it? Oh, and yous say… but everyone has their own truth, everyone says they are right. God himself looked to see if at that place was any other god, and he didn't find whatsoever. He is the God that judges cosmos, he has done it before and will again, and he judges you today, that'south why you lot become offended at his give-and-take, because his discussion created you and his discussion of sentence resonates as your very soul came from him, you lot didn't make yourself. You weren't fifty-fifty there when y'all were conceived, when the plan for your life was laid out, tin can yous even think anything earlier you lot were a young child… withal God was in that location, and there long before. He is God… Jesus Christ ROSE from the dead, the but human to rise form the dead, declaring himself to be God with power past the resurrection of the dead. God's word proves itself, it is with power, it'll change your thinking, your listen, your life, your soul, your destiny, your eternity… that'south pretty powerful.

And although it may non all be articulate to y'all, our hearts condemn us when we are honest with ourselves before God. We all sin… we have all broken God's law, we are all undone. So whether you become circumcised or non… nosotros are undone, in that location is nothing nosotros tin do, it is not how we are saved. Jesus is the ladder to sky. Perhaps you heard the story of Jacob'south ladder… you want to know what that story means? It points us to Jesus Christ… he is the way to sky, he is our ladder… we can't become there ourselves, just he did the work, he came from sky, and he went dorsum to heaven, and nosotros can get there through him. He gives you his life, his forgiveness, his mercy, HIS Spirit… and he want's you to share in all the blessedness that he has. It all starts with beingness born once again. Are yous done with a life of sin? Practise y'all want to come to God through Jesus Christ? He is the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE… Jesus said NO MAN comes to the Father but by me. If you come by Jesus Christ, yous volition be saved, you will exist built-in once more of the Spirit of God. Jesus said, marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must exist born once more. It'south so mysterious, misunderstood, and you tin can be saved correct at present… that's why Jesus said marvel not… you lot don't demand to marvel, you can exist born again, because ye MUST be born over again.
