FEATURED WEBPAGE
Since, in 2008, Easter occurs on a wildly earlier date than Passover,
WHEN will YOU celebrate this coming
PENTECOST?
In the Gospel of
John, Chapter 3,
Christ Jesus explained to an extremely "Religious" Hebrew man that, while humans are born naturally (born of water), all humans are born spiritually unreceptive (dead) to God's spirituality.
And He explained that one absolutely MUST be "Born-Again", this time spiritually, or one will neither see nor enter the Kingdom of God (a reference to eternal life and eternal access to God).
If while someone were spiritually dead and spiritually unreceptive to God they receive spiritual life by being "Born-Again", that new spiritual life will come by means of the Word of God.
"Being born again, not of corruptible (unholy) genetic bloodlines, but of incorruptible (Holy) spirituality, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever."
1 Peter 1:23 - Literal Expanded Version. |
We are "Born-Again" by the Word of God that reveals Christ Jesus. God's Word will bring "religious" and spiritual liberty to believers, it will bring personal joy and it will bring spiritual blessing.
Through hearing the Word of God, by coming to the realization that Christ Jesus is God; the Messiah (Saviour); LORD of everything; creator of heaven and earth; your personal High Priest; your instructor in worship; and was actually resurrected from the dead, one comes to "BELIEVE" the truth of the Gospel and to begin to have "FAITH" in Christ Jesus.
"FAITH" comes by hearing,
and hearing comes by the
WORD OF GOD !
Romans 10:17 - Literal Expanded Version. |
Being "Born-Again" activates (catalyzes) one's capacity to become spiritually receptive to God's Holy Spirit, and to be made spiritually receptive to God's plan and purpose for the ages.
It puts one on God's short-list of people whose prayers He hears! |
Being "Born-Again" begins your new life
as a Christian "Believer".
While being "Born-Again" is at Christianity's entry-level, it is still of utmost importance. For, when one is NOT "Born-Again", one could know the Scriptures well and still not truly understand them from God's perspective.
When one is NOT "Born-Again", piously devout humans depend on outward religious ceremonies, rituals and sacraments to fill the tangible spiritual void felt when one has no authentic, personal, spiritual contact with God.
It is supremely important to realize that NO outward religious ceremony, ritual or sacrament can bring one to Christ Jesus. Outwardly religious ceremonies are worthless, outwardly religious rituals are powerless and outwardly religious sacraments are suspect!
The issue is whether, or not, one is "Born-Again".
Being "Born-Again" gives one the opportunity to be taught by the Holy Spirit about the true meaning of however much of the Holy Scriptures one has read and absorbed.
When the Holy Spirit Of God teaches one the "Truth" from the Scriptures one will (then) see the sins in their life that need to be confessed and repented-of, never to be committed again.
Without being "Born-Again" one will never be changed from an un-saved sinner to a saved sinner, and no one can effectively change themself...
....NOT to God's satisfaction !
Being "Born-Again" frees (releases) one from "Religion", those former powerless rituals, those former worthless ceremonies, those former suspect sacraments - NOT found in the Holy Scriptures - which had comprised one's former "Religious" and spiritual beliefs or practices.
The world is full of pious and devout "Religious" practitioners seeking and questing after transcendental contact and experiences with God... |
....While truly "Born-Again" believers in Christ Jesus have much-sought-after transcendental contact with the REAL God which the other seekers and questers so ardently endeavor to encounter! |
Experientially, those who truly ARE spiritually "Born-Again" KNOW IT. And they can tangibly FEEL IT just as well as everyone else who have been physically born (and are alive today) know and can tangibly feel their own physical existence.
Most of today's spiritual seekers, today's transcendental questers, are outside the Body of Christ:
Which means, they are NOT SAVED!
There are FAR more souls, worldwide, seeking God in places & ways where God can NOT be found, than there are Scripturally astute, Holy Spirit taught, Word-oriented / Word-filled Christians who have genuine fellowship & communion with God.
REMEMBER THIS:
REPENT is the 1st command in the Gospel!
All who walk near to God, in holiness and righteousness, are aware that their very best days and actions are mixed and mingled with sin. Being descended from Adam, humans are conceived in sin, and even "saved" souls still walk-around in unregenerate sinful flesh. (About which, see: Paul's Epistle to the Romans)
There are no "saved" saints, only "saved" sinners!
God has given testimony to the sinfulness of the world and the flesh by providing a sufficient, effectual (Levitical) Sacrifice for sin needed in all ages. And the sinfulness of believers themselves is shown by requiring them to confess their sins and to apply by faith to the blood of Christ Jesus.
Plead guilty before God, be humble and willing to confess all of the details and motivations privately; just between you and Christ Jesus. Honestly confess all sins in their full extent, relying wholly on God's mercy and truth through the righteousness of Christ, for a free and full forgiveness and for deliverance from the power and practice of sin.
It's never really THE END eternally, except for
some "Religious" fakers & frauds among those other lost souls whom will NOT
come to repentance!
You, individually, CAN come to Christ Jesus for forgiveness
of your sins!
The farther you get from God, the longer you stay apart or away from God, the harder your heart will become. Until, for YOU, making a commitment to God moves from improbable, to almost impossible, and eventually becomes completely impossible - FOREVER !
