The Second Birth
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created. (James 1:18)
In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again.” (John 3:3)
Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit…You should not be surprised at my saying. You must be born again.” (John 3:5,7)
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (1 Peter 1:23)
The new birth of a believer is not emotional mumbo-jumbo or some religious act, but a miracle generating everlasting life!
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his son as well. (1 John 5:1)
