Jesus In John 3 Commands Us To Become Born Again Because Our First Birth In Adam Is No Good

Mr. End begins,

When was Jesus Christ born again, He was born the first time as flesh. When Jesus was baptized by John that event Jesus was not “born again”, remember Christ was here to show us the path to eternal life and one step in that path is to join Christ is His death symbolically by being buried into that watery grave with HIM.

When God the Father raised Jesus from death Christ came up from the Grave, from death as Spirit i.e. that ONE Spirit of the Father is now in Christ.

The resurrection TO life is the final step into eternal life: The resurrection is our birth to LIFE, that is when we are — born again — and that is when we will be like wind – invisible we will BE Spirit.

Paul is, on purpose, very hard to understand.

Lets look at Galatians 3 closely

23 “But before faith came, —- before Christ rose from death we were kept under the law,” — we all were held “under” the penalty of death for our transgressions of the Law i.e. because we are sinners we have been sentenced to death. We were kept under the penalty of death.
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. — We were blocked from any possibility of salvation until our Passover was revealed.

24 “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith”. — The Law of sacrificing animals was our schoolmaster that led us to our Passover Jesus Christ, Our Passover died for our sins. And Now we can be justified by that ONE sacrifice of Christ.

25 “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” — after our Passover died for us we no longer sacrifice animals as to continue to sacrifice animals makes that ONE sacrifice of our savior of no avail to us. That one sacrifice of Christ was what the sacrificial law pointed to and that law was our schoolmaster leading us to that ONE sacrifice of Christ.

26 “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus”. – Because we have joined our Passover into His death, burial and resurrection symbolically we are all now children of God waiting to be born again into the exact body as our savior Jesus Christ has now.

27 ” For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”–As many as have joined in the death of Christ and His resurrection are putting on the image of Christ.

28 ‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.’ —Now we are still male and female but once we are born again we will be exactly like Jesus Christ neither bond nor free nor Jew or Gentile or even male or female – we will be Immortal Spirit as is our Savior.

29 “And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. ‘–If you gentiles have joined Christ in death, burial and resurrection then you are grafted in to the seed of Abraham and now heirs to the Promises of God.

Good article, and thank you. (This is BIN. Are you running a fever?)

Just something that, for years, I’ve been pressed to want to share is that a fundamental dividing line between true and false believers is whether one has actually repented before God, changed his or her mind and come into agreement with God, the Lord Jesus, as to the very personal issues of sin guilt and being spiritually dead in Adam you refer to in the article.

There are many false believers who believe spouting doctrine, and, by far, bad doctrine, that some lip service to Christ, some intellectual assent to a few scripture points, can save. Of course, this is simply hollow religion, not true faith and worship of God, John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

God does not put new wine into old bottles, and one has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, absent being born of the Spirit of Christ, something which must begin with repentance, like the sorrowful publican of Luke 18:13 that felt unworthy to lift his eyes towards heaven the only one who went away justified, a seeking of God in truth and real humiliation as to the sin issue and turning from sin, from self, that dead and vile creature, seeking transformation from God, Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. But, absent repentance, one has not even come to agreement with God as to the very issues!

You can’t come to God, preferring to remain dead and a child of the devil, think you’ll somehow receive salvation, when you don’t even really agree with God, can’t serve two masters: you can’t come to the Savior, and skip on the Lord part. This error is, in fact, what is going to damn a huge number of fake Christians, of lukewarm and worthless religion, or all the creatures of self, blinded with a cult zeal for false doctrines, those, in fact, workers of iniquity that do not know Christ in the first place, that He neither knows, Matthew 7:22-23.

As usual, you see all sorts in comments sections that are even puffed-up against scripture truth and disdain all bearers of truth that, in fact, are unrepentant children of the devil, 2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Most all of you need to repent, or you and all your false doctrine will only lead you to hell. God is not mocked. And, by the way, you don’t fool the truly born again, with all your dumb lies. Funny how all of you always come around, like Satan himself, to dispute any article with too much truth, often with anger against truth. Part of your delusion is how you actually think you can fool those with eyes to see and ears to hear, when, in fact, you only fool each other, the already fooled, Luke 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

Repentance, “Don’t leave home without it.” It’s high time most of you stopped faking it, as you’re one heartbeat away from eternal hell fire.

REPENTANCE

Metanoia (met-an’-oy-ah);
Word Origin: Greek, Noun Feminine

a change of mind, as it appears to one who repents, of a purpose he has formed or of something he has done; change in one’s way of life resulting from penitence or spiritual conversion; especially the change of mind of those who have begun to abhor their errors and misdeeds, and have determined to enter upon a better course of life, so that it embraces both a recognition of sin and sorrow for it and hearty amendment, the tokens and effects of which are good deeds; that change of mind by which we turn from, desist from, the old behavior; a reversal of decision

Luke 13

1 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

Acts 17

30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.

Acts 2

36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

1 Corinthians 15

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

This is not a joke, the imperative that you repent and believe in the Lord Jesus to each and everyone.

Matthew 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

You commenting corpses, that have never really repented and received the Lord Jesus? Again, you are just one little heartbeat removed from hell fire. This makes everything else you rail and bicker about, everyday, your fake religion errors, your politics, your conspiracies and paranoid delusions, completely insignificant, when you have a problem looming that will be an eternal, personal disaster, standing right in front of you.

2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
