Repent and Be Born Again Scripture

Here are my tiptop 7 Bible verses about being born again.

John iii:3 "Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot come across the kingdom of God."

Nicodemus had come to Jesus at night to speak with Him about salvation saying "Rabbi, we know that you are a instructor come from God, for no one tin can do these signs that you lot practise unless God is with him" (John 3:2) but instead of Jesus receiving this compliment, He directed Nicodemus' attending to the fact that you must be built-in once more to even see the kingdom of God (John three:3). The words "born once more" indicates that information technology is a piece of work of God as the Greek says "built-in from above" so every child of God is born from to a higher place, by God's will, and then that nosotros can take no credit for ourselves and boast or brag about information technology (Eph 2:viii-9).

Kickoff Peter i:22-23 "Having purified your souls past your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly dearest, dearest one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you accept been built-in again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and constant give-and-take of God."

The Apostle Peter also refers to the phrase built-in once again and pinpoints the source; it was out of an imperishable seed which came by "the living and abiding word of God" showing again that our new nascency comes only by God's edict and this included the ways of the Discussion of God or Scripture. This shows that the power of conservancy is the very power of God that leads to salvation and it's plant in the gospel (Rom 1:xvi).

Colossians 2:13 "And you, who were expressionless in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses."

What does Paul mean that we were expressionless in our trespasses? He is maxim that "having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through organized religion in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead" so we needed a resurrection too. We had to be raised in Christ by God'southward making us alive and this meant nosotros had to have our sins taken away.

John 3:6-vii "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Practice non marvel that I said to you lot, 'You must be born once more."

Jesus is all the same speaking to Nicodemus and trying to show him that nosotros must be built-in of the Spirit; the Holy Spirit, as Jesus used the word "Spirit" as a proper substantive, meaning that the Spirit is a Person and is the Third fellow member of the Trinity. Anybody is born of the flesh but just those who are God's are born of the Spirit. Also, this was not just spoken to Nicodemus because Jesus said "You must be born again" and the "you" is plural so Jesus is telling Nicodemus and all who read this passage that all of us must be born again before nosotros can enter the kingdom of sky.

First Peter i:2-iv "Blest be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Co-ordinate to his great mercy, he has acquired us to be built-in once more to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you."

Again the Apostle Peter refers to the tern "born again" and shows that God has "acquired us to be born again" meaning it was not our own doing. God alone saves and and so He alone deserves the glory. This inheritance, reserved for all who apologize and trust in Christ every bit part of the new birth, is beingness kept or held as a reservation for those in sky.

Ephesians 2:v-six "fifty-fifty when we were dead in our trespasses, fabricated the states alive together with Christ—past grace you lot have been saved— and raised united states of america upwardly with him and seated u.s.a. with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."

Once more Paul writes about us being raised from the dead from that which our trespasses had caused. We had to exist "made live" by God'due south divine will. Paul writes equally if this is already a done bargain as he sees us as already having been "raised up with him" and we are at present "seated…with him in the heavenly places."

John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and y'all hear its audio, simply you exercise non know where it comes from or where it goes. So information technology is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Jesus shows the essence of the Spirit of God, although not seen by man eyes, nosotros tin encounter His effect on the laic'southward life just like the invisible air current blows and you can meet the effects and hear the sounds. Even though we don't "know where it comes from or where it goes" we know He is there. We cannot see Spirit merely we tin can run across and hear the Spirit's working and is show that we are God's own kid.

Determination

The late Adrian Rogers once said if you're built-in once, you'll die twice but if you're born twice, you'll die once.  By dying twice, he meant a concrete and then a spiritual death (Rev 21:viii) and built-in twice means you're physically born and then spiritually born and if so, yous'll die only a physical death and at that indicate, you'll receive eternal life.  If yous have repented and forsaken your sin so trusted in Christ, you have been born again, from in a higher place, by God Himself. You are now a child of God but for all who refuse to humble themselves and believe they have the wrath of God abiding on them at the present time (John 3:36b) but nosotros must remember that they were "among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the heed, and were by nature children of wrath, like the remainder of flesh" (Eph 2:3), "But God, beingness rich in mercy, because of the groovy dear with which he loved united states of america even when we were expressionless in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you lot accept been saved" (Eph 2:4-5).
