NO SUBSTITUTE TO THE NEW BIRTH

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 3:3).

There are people who think if their good works outweigh their bad works, then God would accept them. But it’s not about good works and bad works; it’s about your nature. Galatians 6:15 says, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” Being a new creature, with the life and nature of God is what determines your place with Him.

It’s for the same reason the Lord Jesus said, “You must be born again.” That wasn’t a denominational idea or a church doctrine. It’s your only access to eternal life. He said, “…Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). In other words, that person can’t access, know or understand the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is already here in Christ Jesus, but you can’t be part of it until you’re born again.

John 3:6 says, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” This new birth is the recreation of the human spirit by the Holy Ghost through the Word of God. It’s not a religious experience; it’s the impartation of the life and nature of God into your spirit. That’s why the Lord said, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).

There’s no alternative; it’s not a matter of choice or personal preference. If you’re going to be part of God’s Kingdom, you must be born again to experience the God-life and come into oneness with Him. It can’t happen any other way. Perhaps you’re reading this and you’ve never been born again, turn to the prayer of salvation page at the end of the book, say the words and mean them with all your heart. Right away, you’ll become a child of God with eternal life imparted to your spirit.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. I affirm that I’m born again, a new creature in Christ Jesus. I walk in the reality of the divine life and function in your kingdom of light, righteousness and glory. Thank you for making me one with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
