Jesus taught, “Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that
which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You
must be born again.’” [1]
There is a naturalization process to enter God’s
Kingdom. We must believe in the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who became an
atoning sacrifice for us. Only Jesus gives the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is
the One who births people anew so that we have a new heart and spirit to honor
God.
“Those who live according to the flesh set their
minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit,
the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against
God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those
who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but
in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does
not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” [2]
“Dear Heavenly Father, during these perilous days
of evil reports, thank You for the Good News that our Redeemer lives. Thank You
for the gift of the transforming Holy Spirit. Thank You for spiritual rebirth
and mindedness.”
[1] John 3:5-7
[2] Romans 8:5-9
21st Century Jeremiah is a publishing site that is managed and operated by Mark Czanderna for the expressed purpose to provide for you free Bible-based and Christ-exalting resources. My goal is to align myself with the prophetic words of God as carefully and accurately as Jeremiah the prophet did in his day, but include the additional revelations that the Lord Jesus Christ provided for us in the Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Epistles of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation.
