Good Morning Bible Scholars - Pray that all is well and praying the blessings of the Lord be upon you always!
Our Bible Study Text for this week: John 3:1-21. Emphasis on verses 1-5 and verse 16.
Subject: Have You Been Born Again?
Introduction:
Many people spend most of their religious life wondering if they have truly been born again. It’s a natural and humanistic inquiry, so I want to try to build some stability in your thought process today.
Evidence of being truly born again will show in how you Think, how you Feel and how you See!
1). The Way You Think:
How you feel about sin, GOD, life,
other people and even politics
will drastically shift once you’ve
been saved! Why, because your
mind is now in the process of
renewing every single day by the
Power of GOD. Now your ethics,
morals and values began to
align with biblical and Kingdom
principles versus Worldly values
and principles. So your politics
SHOULD reflect caring for other
people more than your own
personal gain! That’s what Jesus
did on Calvary!!!!!
2). The Way You Feel:
Since GOD is renewing your mind
your heart is also changed.
Things you used to do and like
won’t appeal to you in the same
intensity. The hate you once had
will began to shift and the anger
that once controlled you has lost
its power. There is no way you
can have GOD’s Holy Spirit
dwelling on the inside of you
daily and still FEEL the same!
3). The Way You See:
Now that you are saved your
Spiritual Vision has been
awakened. You now began to
see things according to GOD’s
perspective and not your own!
That’s why Jesus said in v.3
“I tell you the truth, no one can
SEE the Kingdom of God unless
he is born again.” (NIV)
Closing: When Jesus says in v. 5-6
“Born of water and the Spirit” I truly believe Jesus is referring to physical human birth (born of water) because as a woman’s water breaks we are born into this world physically. V.6 says “Flesh gives birth to flesh but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.”
“Born of the Spirit” I truly believe means your Spiritual rebirth, once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit now indwells you permanently and the process of Sanctification has begun. That’s a Spiritual Rebirth.
So “Have You Been Born Again?”
How do you SEE things now?
1). How do you see SATAN now =
The world and politics?
2). How do you see SIN now?
3). How do you see SELF now?
4). Most importantly, how do you see
The SAVIOR now?
Jesus did not say if you have Good Religion you shall be saved, HE said “Unless we are BORN AGAIN!” So please make sure you’re Born Again, Born From Above and not just a member of a church going through the motions!!!! Relationship outweighs Religion with GOD!!!! Be intimate with GOD and truly allow HIM to change every fiber of your being and your thinking = Spiritual Rebirth! Love You All and Stay Blessed! Pastor B
