What Is Meant By To Be Born Again?


When Nicodimus came to Jesus at night they had a conservation base on been born again or been born from above. He told him this, “Verily verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of the water and the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5. This birth spoke of by Christ is not a physical birth; it is the Spiritual birth which is of the Holy Spirit. In other words he is a new creature in Christ, old things are pass away behold all is become new. 2 Cor. 5:17.
To be in Christ is to be in the truth. For He said, “I am the way the truth and the life.” John 14:6.
To be a new creature is to put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph. 4:24.
This righteousness spoke of is the divine nature of God, the Spiritual Law, that is God Himself.
True holiness is sinfreeness or pure religion. 2 Cor. 7:1 and James 1:27.
The old thing that is passed away is the old man that is corrupted according to the deceitful lust, which is the canal mind. This canal mind cannot subject to the Law of God neither indeed can it. This is the mind that the human family adapted after the fall. It is a mind of death that is enmity against God. Rom. 6:6; 8:6; 5:19. It is the stony heart or the filty garments. Ezek. 36:26; Zach. 3:3. 
Therefore we can see that when a man is born again or converted or been made a new creature, he is become a partaker of divine nature, which is revealed in the Spiritual Law, the righteousness of God. In other words he has the Spiritual Mind. He is made righteous; therefore, he puts away lying and deceitful lust

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...
