In order for someone to become "born again" they must place all their faith in Christ as Lord and Savior,
beloved57,
Bottom line is that, to be 'born again' is to be no longer 'dead'.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
When Jesus told Nicodemus that except a man be born again he cannot see [perceive] the Kingdom of God as per vs 3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
In essence, what Jesus meant, except ye are of that seed in Me, by being Chosen in Him before the foundation of the World [Eph 1:4] ye cannot see or understand the Kingdom of God, which is to include it's Gospel, The Gospel of the Kingdom or of the Kingdom of God. Matt 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mark 1:14
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
Which are also the Kingdom Mysteries Luke 8:10
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Now, even though Jesus was giving a condition " except ye be born again ", yet He was not giving a imperative or duty for one to perform to become born again; because there is nothing a person can do to be born; even if it was for us to go back into our mothers womb, [ which its not] how could we accomplish that ? Could we make ourselves fetuses again ? Would that be in our ability ?
But nevertheless, Christ meant what He said in stating that 'Ye must be born Again " !
. Jesus instructed: Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, within your own heart, then All things will be added. Seem that you must initiate the first act, i.e. by seeking first the kingdom . . . . 'to seek ye first' means 'the first thing is you seek' Seeking is works. Seeking is works you must do first in order capture the kingdom of God within your heart, this is the the same as coming under grace of God. Therefore to come under Grace of God you have to do the works of seeking first, the kingdom . . . . . Remember the revelations: "seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be open onto thee". Seeking and knocking are works which one must do in order to come onto All things including, Grace of God. And this works is an inward intuitive search of one's own heart. This is not a search of scriptures. You have to do this works (of seeking) first, then God will add All things. If it was not incumbent for humans to make the first move (by doing works of seeking and knocking) then nothing would stop the good God from adding All thing to us freely. Fact is if humans do not seek ye first, the kingdom of God within their own individual hearts, nothing (not Truth, not salvation, not deliverance, etc.) will come to them. |
:thumb: @ Beloved 57......I enjoyed a lot of what you've written here. It is born from above, for one very important reason: we go into the womb of the morning of our heavenly mother (NO, NOT Mary), by being CAUGHT UP.
Mt 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry,
but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mr 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry,
but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Heavenly mother ? That is Blasphemy !
Does anyone on this board ever consider what is said before casting labels around?
Galatians 4:26 KJV
But Jerusalem which is ABOVE is free, which is the MOTHER of us all.

It is written;
They shall be my people and I shall be their God. One heart and one way is what I shall give them so they shall revere me always for their own good and the good of their children after them.
This is the covenant I shall make with them. My spirit which is upon you and my words which I have put into your mouth shall never leave your mouth nor the mouth of your children nor the mouth of your children's children from now on and forever."
