~ A New Additional Life: Spiritual ~
Scripture ~ “Jesus
answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’
Nicodemus said to Him, ‘How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s
womb and be born?’ Jesus answered, ‘Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he
cannot enter the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel
that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear
the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit’”
(John 3:3-8).
“Since
you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere
love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having
been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the
Word of God which lives and abides forever” (1 Peter 1:22-23).
Comment ~ We
were all born with physical life. “Born
again” refers to a second birth into the spiritual life found only in Jesus
Christ.
