*BY WHAT SEED WHERE YOU BORN AGAIN*
*_Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever._*
*1 Peter 1:23 KJV*
It is Said that only the woman know the real father of the child. You may claim to be a son of the man you claim to be your father, but your mother know you are not his son. A good DNA test will prove all things.
Similaly, you can be "born again", but that is not the issue, the issue is, of what seed were you "born again"? The corruptible seed of religious philosophies that fades away with time or the incorruptible seed of the word of God that lives and abides forever?
Those born of the seed of spirit of God's word will have genuine roots and grow to bear the fruit of the spirit. The fruit of incorruptible seed is also incorruptible. The fake last only for a while.
What gospel did you believe that made you "born again"? Was it the gospel of Jesus, or the philosophies of a particular church denomination?
Paul said "
*_"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."_*
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 KJV.
So, where is the foundation of your so called faith in Jesus? Is it the Wisdom of men or the powerful Spirit of God?
When I say "power", I don't mean signs and wonders. Satan does that so well. So when you hear "power", remove your mind from miracles. The Power of God is the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16).
Now, he that is born of God, does not commit sin. Why? Because the seed of God abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (1 John 3:9.).
Sin is not an act, but a nature, of unbelief. It is the nature that produce the real act. Righteousness is not an act, but a nature. It is the nature that produce the real Righteousness. Righteousness is faith.
Sin is the nature of satan. He doesn't believe God in the truth of his word, and he teaches people to do so. Adam and Eve, did the act of eating the fruit, because they disbelieved God. If not they can't willingly do so.
So the one born of God is so because he believed God's report concerning his son. By that the son destroy the work of the Devil in him. Hence, he cannot sin (disbelieve God).
How do you know the difference between the two kind of born again?
It's the fruit. The one with holy seed that does "wrong", can't abide in it, it's against his nature. That wrong has no root, it will die off, because he can't condone it.
When the one with corruptible seed does right, it can't abide, because the right he does has no root, it will soon fade as well. His true sinful fruit will show off with time, and he will be so comfortable with it, and even defend it with boldness.
So, examine yourself. Of what seed where you supposedly born again? Don't be carried away by the popularity of your church and your pastor, bishop or Prophet. He may be feeding you with his philosophies that he quote from bible, and not the word of God. That is why you are struggling with sin, and or enjoying sinning. All that moves you is signs and wonders, not the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Finally, do yourself a favor, examine the foundation of your faith again, so you can build on the rock and not on the sand.
Shalom.
