Book excerpt: When a person becomes born again or is born of the Spirit, they are in the family of God. You are a child of the Most High God—a child of the king! You become a citizen of the kingdom of God. The kingdom is not a place you can join; you must be born into it. Just as a natural father seeds a newborn in a mother's natural life, so it is in the Spirit that we are the seed of our Heavenly Father, who is Spirit. Your flesh is not born again; your Spirit and soul are. This fleshly body is destined to die once; after death is the judgment. The power of being born again is that we get to judge ourselves when we are filled with God's Spirit; it doesn't matter what people think about us. It's what God knows about you and what you must know about yourself…you are born again! No matter the sins or mistakes you have made in the past, the miracle of being born again is that God no longer remembers them. You are given a new and clean slate in the spirit world. Being born again does not mean you will not make mistakes, but we are no longer reckless, irresponsible, or lawless in doing evil. Understanding you are a new creation, old things are passed away, and all things become new. Here are a few to know as a new Believer: Repenting for your sins means acknowledging your sinful nature and avoiding harmful behaviors and attitudes. Decide to change and make Jesus the Lord of your life. Believe in Jesus Christ— Accept that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins and rose again from the dead. Have faith that you can be forgiven and have eternal life through his sacrifice. Confess your faith— Openly declare your belief in Jesus by saying, "I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Be baptized—Baptizing by immersion symbolizes your death to sin and new life in Christ. It is an outward expression of your inner commitment. Read and study the Bible— The Bible guides living as a Christian. Set aside time to read it daily and apply its teaching. Worship and fellowship—Find a Bible-Believing Church and attend services to worship God and connect with other believers. Fellowship helps you grow spiritually, and you should never forget to serve others. Pray—Talk to God regularly to develop a consistent prayer life. Pray for guidance and strength, and share the gospel. Witness to others— Tell others about your faith in Jesus, what he has done in your faith in Jesus, and what he has done in your life. Share the good news of salvation and the kingdom. New life in Christ—Experiencing spiritual rebirth and a new relationship with God Seeking to follow Jesus— Living for Christ and His purposes rather than self. Eternal life— Knowing you have the gift of salvation and will spend eternity with God The Born Again experience brings a new spiritual birth and transformed life. It is a lifelong journey of growth in Jesus Christ. Are you ready to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit and become a Born-Again Believer? This book is about those who have taken the step to being a Born Again Christian and even some who have been a Christian for a long time. Discover the revelations of Jesus Christ and who we are in God with "Born Again, Now What Jesus?" This book will empower you to take control of your life and become a ruler of righteousness, not a follower of anything contrary to the will of God. Now that you are Born Again, you become the "What" of God in this world and the kingdom.

As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs.

Download or read book Your Best Life Now written by Joel Osteen and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live boldly and act on your most powerful beliefs with this life-changing guide to faith, positive thinking, and spiritual fulfillment. Pastor Joel Osteen asks everyone to examine what he or she really believes. Why is this important? Because we will become what we believe. Our beliefs will prove either a barrier or vehicle as we strive to go higher, rise above our obstacles, and to live in health, abundance, and victory. In Your Best Life Now, Osteen says, "I am what I am today because of what I believed about myself yesterday. And I will be tomorrow what I'm believing about myself right now. God sees us as more than conquerors, able to fulfill our destiny. We need to see ourselves through the eyes of our Creator." He says that our self-image should mirror exactly what God says about us, not what we feel or think. And he encourages readers to be people of faith, for if you can see the invisible, God will do the impossible.

Download or read book Have you truly been born again of water and the Spirit written by Rev. Paul C. Jong and published by Hephzibah Publishing House. This book was released on with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title's main subject is "to be born again of Water and the Spirit." It has the originality on the subject. In other words, this book clearly tells us what being born again is and how to be born again of water and the Spirit in strict accordance with the Bible. The water symbolizes the baptism of Jesus at the Jordan and the Bible says that all our sins were passed on to Jesus when He was baptized by John the Baptist. John was the representative of all mankind and a descendant of Aaron the High priest. Aaron laid his hands on the head of the scapegoat and passed all the yearly sins of the Israelites onto it on the Day of Atonement. It is a shadow of the good things to come. The baptism of Jesus is the antitype of the laying on of hands. Jesus was baptized in the form of the laying on of hands at the Jordan. So He took away all the sins of the world through His baptism and was crucified to pay for the sins. But most Christians don't know why Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan. Jesus' baptism is the keyword of this book, and the indispensable part of the Gospel of Water and the Spirit. We can be born again only by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His Cross. CONTENTS 1.

Download or read book My Journey to Salvation written by Keith Mitchell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU AWARE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STATEMENT EVER MADE? "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN" Why? Because without it you have no hope of enjoying the glories of heaven and escaping the horrors of hell. Are YOU born again? Jesus said "Ye must be born again." John 3: 7 "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 A very interesting event took place while Jesus walked the earth, many of the religious leaders of his day did not believe or receive him but there were some who due to fear of what people will say though they believed, they did not show publicly what they thought about him then in John chapter 3, one of them came to enquire at night about the kingdom Jesus was talking about. He was curious as to how one can be a part of the kingdom and Jesus said in verse three. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" John 3:3 "Jesus answered him, I assure you most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.' AMP The man must have looked at Jesus to confirm if he was in his right senses for he wondered how an adult would enter into his mother's stomach and be born again and Jesus told him "Except a man be born of the water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." so we can see that this goes beyond physical birth, this is the work of the spirit of Christ. Many of us who were born into Christian homes automatically believe we are born again or part of the house hold of faith, God forbid that at the end, Jesus tells us to depart because he does not know us. Being part of a Christian home or being part of a church does not equal being born again. You may know a lot about Jesus and God of the Christians, you may even know some verses in the bible and be able to quote them well, you may be able to say a thing or two about Jesus but then do you know him personally. You may say you know the president of your country, you might be able to say a lot of things about him but then the level of knowledge you have cannot be compared to what his wife will say. The wife knows him better, she sleeps with him and shares intimacy with him, and he will tell her things he is too careful not to tell the world, she knows his strengths and his fears. She knows when he is pretending to be okay and smiling when he is dying in silence. Now that is a level, and God desires that, intimacy with God and a relationship with him is the end to which Christ died so that when you die you can share eternity with him in heaven. So it's not about knowing about Jesus, it is about Jesus knowing you. Do you want to make heaven and be part of the kingdom Jesus talked about? Then you must be born again for that is the access, the key to the kingdom that is what entitles you to all that pertains to life and godliness. The son of a prince does not beg for the throne, he knows the throne is his by birth, same thing goes, we are the King's kid and because we are born of God, we have all He has. "But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." John 1:12 So the power we have to be called sons is imparted at new birth, when we receive him into our life. Are you curious to know what this new birth is? Let's continue the ride through the pages of this book.

Download or read book Encounters with Jesus written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores how people are changed by meeting Jesus personally—and how we can be changed encountering him today. The people who met Jesus Christ in person faced the same big life questions we face today. Like most of us, the answers handed down to them didn’t seem to work in the real world. But when they met Jesus, things immediately started to change for them. It seems he not only had the answers—he was the answer. In Encounters with Jesus, Timothy Keller shows how the central events and meetings in Jesus’ life can change our own lives forever. "Keller's work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible student." —Examiner "Keller has mined the gold from these texts of Scripture, and any Christian is bound to have their minds expanded and hearts stirred." —Grace for Sinners
