A New Birth

Soucer

It is necessary for you to be born again - John 3: 7

He who is born once, twice die, but those who are born twice die once. This expression has everything to do with John 3: 3-12 as Jesus discipled Nicodemus about the new birth. In a human vision, the gestation, the conception of life, and a great miracle, Jesus Christ goes further, in the spiritual world we also need to be born, so that we have spiritual life and our spiritual life needs the same care as our body: food; the hygiene; health, etc.

When we feed well our body thanks, just as water does good for the body, God does good for our spirit; bread feeds the body, love feeds the spirit, Matthew 4: 4. To have a full spiritual life, we need to go through a process:

1- BORN AGAIN

In John 3: 5 Jesus says: "Truly, he who is not born of water and the Spirit can not enter the kingdom of God." The man who revolutionized the world with his teachings and miracles said: in fact, in truth. Science can not answer something it does not have to prove, purely rational theories and speculations are limited to the power of God, to give life, and to eternity, Jeremiah 10:12, Luke 1:37.

The new birth occurs with regeneration, restoring what was destroyed, ruined and generating or producing again, revivifying, reforming, improving, changing direction. Being convinced of the power of God and his work, does not mean that we are converted or regenerated, but if we are converted, then we are also convinced of the great love of God in making us new creatures II Co 5:17, because we are no longer just children of "Joseph" and "Mary", we are Sons of God by the new and living birth John 1:12, besides creatures of God we are also children, through Jesus Christ.

2 - FEED THE SPIRIT

To nourish our spirit we need, at least, the "Bean with Rice" which is the Reading of the Word, of God and of Prayer, John 17:17, Psalm 119: 9-11, The practice of reading the Bible with "his meditation and obedience, besides making us more sanctified and bringing us peace, can make us more intelligent - Psalm 119: 98, and prosperous Joshua 1: 8. It is a manual of success for our life.

Prayer is our communication with God and the thermometer of our intimacy with Him. There is a bliss that says, who does not communicate is strumbic, Luke 11: 9 clarifies all our prayer requests to God, John 14:14 read also James 4: 3. We can nourish our spirit abundantly from all the fruits of the tree of the spirit, without restriction Galatians 5: 19-23.

There are many people who are feeding their souls with their eyes on TV, or in programming without any "protein" Matthew 6: 22-23, and even our children are often feeding their subconscious in drawings ... From an electronic nanny that through subliminal messages and Merchandising it fills us with fat bringing serious cardiovascular diseases forming a sick heart. Psalm 51: 10,17, II Tm 2:22.

3 - HAVE COMMUNION WITH GOD

When we have fellowship with God it is much easier to have fellowship with our neighbor, Romans 12:18. When we are regenerated, we are forgiven and forgiving, a new being is reborn within us. 2 Cor 5:17, a new mind arises according to the mind of God, for the Bible is a portrait of the mind of God, Read Romans 12: 2 and at the same time read the Word of God we will have fellowship with Him, to know His word and have more communion in learning together his teaching in the House of God and even more communion in practicing his teachings also from outside the Church, Mark 16:15 We have fellowship with God when we obey his word.

To revive is to be reborn and change our thoughts and attitudes before God and society, to change for the better and not worse, John 10:10, to live abundantly in grace and communion with God, apart from that there is no full life, John 14: 6.. In the case of a person who is not your family, it will not occur to you. and if the temptation comes, I do not say, I choose God, I choose each one of God, I choose heaven and eternal life.
