BORN AGAIN

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Jesus Christ explained what it means to be "born again" to Nicodemus (a teacher of the Jewish law who came to visit Him under cover of darkness), "Most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" - John 3:3. Nicodemus was confused, so he asked Jesus, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus explained that He was talking about a completely different kind of birth. He showed that there are two kinds of birth - one physical, one spiritual. When you were born of your mother, you were composed of flesh. But, "That which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

You're important to God. The death of Jesus on the cross to pay for your sins proves His love. His resurrection guarantees it. Not one problem you face today has taken God by surprise. Jesus said, "The things that are impossible with men are possible with God" (Luke 18:27). Bring your burdens and cares to the God of the impossible.

The bible says, "Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Joel 2:32) If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. God hears when you ask Jesus to come into your heart and admit you need something (Him) greater than yourself. First you must have a willing and believing heart.

If you don't or can't believe, just ask Him to show you that He is real.

He will let you know that He is the one and only real true GOD. Watch for it and it will happen because He promises that, whoever seeks WILL find Him because He loves us, is our Father, and our life preserver, but we must first want and seek Him. Salvation is for all nations.

The offer is made to anyone who will receive it (Acts 10-15). Only God who is completely just can judge and make right all the wrongs we've committed (Romans 12:19 Hebrews 10:30). The Lord executes righteousness & justice for all who've been oppressed. (anyone who has been mistreated by anyone in any way, shape or form) - Psalm 103:6 God is also our forgiver if you are the one who has committed the wrong.

Anyone can talk with Him. When we want to know who He really is, He will and can make Himself known to ANYONE, regardless of race, creed or status, no matter who you are or what you've done. Trust Him, call upon Him and mean it sincerely for the same Lord over all is rich to all (of us) who call upon Him in faith. "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Rom. 10:13). God does not change His mind. He made promises to the ancient believers in the Bible and He'll fulfill them. - Rom. 10:9-13 "for the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable" (Rom. 11:29).

God is the source, means and end of all things, He is the creator, sustainer and the goal of everything therefore He should be praised and glorified forever. For Him and through Him and to Him are all things to whom be glory forever. Amen. (Rom. 11:36) Jesus calls all to respond to Him. You must make a choice. To not decide is still a choice against Him.

There are 2 different prayers below. Choose whichever fits you best. All you have to say are these few words:

Father God in heaven, in the name of Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner. I repent of all of my sins, please forgive me. I realize that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. I believe He is the Son of the living and only true God, I give Him my life today. Thank you Father for hearing my prayer. Bless you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

OR

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, into this world to die and for raising Him from the dead so that I can have everlasting life. I accept Jesus as my Savior and as the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins and I forgive those who have wronged me. I believe in my heart and I will confess openly my belief in Jesus. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. I receive this gift by faith, in Jesus name, Amen.

If you prayed that prayer, watch and see the changes in your life occur as you grow in faith and wisdom. When we accept Him, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of us, and helps us to make wise decisions. By attaching ourselves to Christ, we enable His life to flow in and through us. Then we cannot help but bear fruit that will honor the father... He is the gardener.

When we accept Him, He gives us the Holy Spirit, Who comes inside of us and helps us to make wise decisions and change our hearts so that we love what He loves and hate what He hates.

Please make bible study and prayer a daily habit and God will reveal more and greater things to you. Ask God today and everyday. Say, Lord, I pray that You will open doors for me (today) to speak the mystery of Christ. Please guide my mind to divine revelation. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen. (Col. 4:3).

 

 

What have you got to lose?

God says, "Be holy for I am holy." (1 Pet 1:16). Hebrews 12:14 says, "Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord." In Ephesians 1:4 we are told that we should be holy and without blame before God.

May the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Baruch hashem of Jesus (Hebrew for, Blessed be the name of Jesus) Shalom!
