It's the most important message you may
have never heard.
Religion
may have given you a negative view of the subject.
Religion
may have given you absolutely nothing at all.
You
will find it in John's Gospel Chapter 3 and verse 3.
Some
say it is the most important verse in the Bible.
Well,
in deed, it is a wonderful place to start.
Being BORN AGAIN is a supernatural experience.
It
is what G-d Almighty does for those WHO ASK!
Most
folks who attend Churches have chosen RELIGION
instead
of relationship with the Living G-d.
They
spend most of their lives in UNBELIEF.
Do
you believe that Jesus (Yeshua of Nazareth) is ALIVE
risen from death and alive in heaven's glory?
Do
you believe that he (Jesus) is able to grant ETERNAL LIFE
for
those who believe in him and simply ask?
He
has been given ALL POWER in heaven and earth.
He
has power over DEATH, HELL, and the GRAVE!
His
name is GREATER than any other!
He
has power to set the CAPTIVE FREE, and he can make
the
vilest of sinners, losers, addicts and moral reprobates
into
SAINTS who are being reshaped into Spiritual perfection.
He
has come to destroy the works of the EVIL ONE.
He
has come to make all things NEW. We become
NEW
CREATIONS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17).
When
HE calls you, you WILL answer.
His
hand is extended to all who need and seek his
MERCY!
You can choose LIFE today.
He
has come to redeem us from the CURSE of the law;
to
SAVE US from our fallen states!
Do
you love this world? Do you seek its pleasures
and
approval? Then you may not be ready to receive
the
GIFT. Those who love this world and seek its approval
are
seeking something that will soon pass away.
Their
awaits for all us LIFE and BLESSING
or
DEATH and the penalty of fallen humanity.
This
day, chose LIFE and ask the redeemer to
set
you free, to make you BRAND NEW.
If
you are ready and if you believe you can become
a
true Son or Daughter of G-d. Jesus' blood bought
you
that right.
IF
THIS MESSAGE HAS SPOKEN TO YOUR SPIRIT,
Go
to ROMANS (it's in the Bible) Chapter 10, and find
verses 9 and 10.
Call
upon him. Ask for his mercy. Acknowledge who
HE
IS, he is the I AM.
If
you mock his name and what he has done for
every
soul, then this is not your time.

BORN
AGAIN Points to The DOCTRINE OF
SALVATION
Here are some of the important concepts Bible Proof Texts
Relating to "BEING SAVED"
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE “SAVED”
Acts 16: The Phillipian
Jailor: Asks, “29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and
fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them
out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 So they
said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be
saved, you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of
the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
BELIEVE WHAT ABOUT JESUS? What is unique about Jesus:
??
John 3: 18-19 - He (Jesus) is
the only name under heaven by which we can be saved
John 14:6
“Jesus said to him, “I
am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me.
He is “The Way, The Truth, and The Life. - - John Chap.14: 5
Thomas said to Him, “Lord,
we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through Me.
Acts 4:12 -12,
No Other Way: Neither
is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
What about those who do not believe he (Jesus) is “The WAY?”
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten
Son of God.
The Question everyone must
answer; “Who do YOU say that I (Jesus) am?
John 1:2
But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name:
13
Which were born, not
of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of
God.
The Church
(Ekklesia)
Each Believer
is CALLED:
A
supernatural
calling:
John 6:44
“No
one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will
raise him up at the last day.”
Called
by the Father:
(If we have been born of the Spirit, then it is affirmed that we are
"the
called" of God)
Romans 8: 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to
be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn
among many brethren. 30
Moreover
whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He
also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
The
Called
become believers and sons of God:
Acts 13:
44
(Paul and Barnabus minister at Antioch
in Pisidia)
On the
next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of
God. 45
But
when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and
contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.
46
Then Paul
and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God
should be spoken to you first; but since
you reject it, and
judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the
Gentiles.
47
For so the
Lord has commanded us:
‘I
have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for
salvation to the ends of the earth.”
48
Now when the Gentiles
heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord.*
And as many as had
been appointed to eternal life believed.
*Those who God
calls are foreknown.
He
supplies the “measure of faith”
prepares their hearts to believe.
SALVATION BY THE POWER
OF GOD -
ROMANS 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the
power of God to salvation
for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
1
CORINTHIANS 1:18
Christ
(is)
the Power and Wisdom of God.
For the message of the cross is
foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it
is
the power of God.
What are we SAVED FROM? What are we called OUT OF?
Obviously the first matter is that
we are delivered from the judgment of unbelievers. Who pay the eternal
price of separation from God, HELL.
We who are called are
Delivered from Wrath to Come and the control of the Evil One.
1 Thes. 1:10
- “9
- -
and how you turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God,
10
and to wait for His Son from heaven,
whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus
who delivers us from the wrath to come.”
John 17:16
They are not of
the world,
just as I am not of
the world.
The Spirit of Truth help to keep us from the control of the
“god of this world.”
John 15:19:
If you were of
the world,
the world
would love its own. Yet because you
are not of
the world,
but I chose you out of
the world,
therefore
the world
hates you.
John 17:6:
“I
have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of
the world.
They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS?
(This directs
us to the essential Gospel message.)
What is the gospel? What is not the
Gospel?
The cross, the shed blood of Jesus,
and the resurrection was for a long while a standard message among the
evangelical churches. That message is being replaced by another gospel
of seeker sensitive and feel good religion.
Paul warns us not to turn from
the message of the cross.
1 Corinthians 1:18 “ - -
For the message of the cross
is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved
it is the power of God.”
Jude admonishes us to: Jude:
v. 3 “
I found it necessary to write to you
exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all
delivered to the saints.”
What
distinguishes the validity of the Gospel and the beliefs of a Christian
2
Corinthians 11:3 and 4 explains that we must have the - - the Right
Jesus - - the Right Gospel -
the Right
Spirit.
4
For if he who comes preaches another
Jesus whom we have not preached, or
if
you receive a different spirit which
you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not
accepted—you may well put up with it!
