New Birth, The Miracle of Salvation - Final Part! www.cristoeosenhor.com
Posted by Itamar Vando in November 2012
In our approach to the issue new birth, we began exposing the issue of original sin and its consequence in human nature. We point out the works of such nature and divine solution, Law, who despite being holy became ineffective, since the man could not dominate nature by submitting to the obedience of God.
In the fullness of time God sent his son to treat human nature, with a direct message to the heart of man is come the kingdom of God. Interesting to note that Jesus never commanded anyone to repent, because it followed his preaching and teaching of God's power,
alone produced about repentance just tell him, "Go thy faith hath made thee whole." What made a difference in the lives of those people was the impact caused by the encounter with Jesus, resulting in a new condition of spiritual life, which put them back into the presence of God.
The task of Jesus was to reveal God's kingdom, show your love for man, so Jesus gave his own life and therein lies the truth about the new birth. It is important to make clear, the new birth is a miracle and therefore can not be explained empirically, it is something supernatural, a divine act, decisive, which is not repeated.
In the Middle Ages the Church began to use the word salvation in its main message, leaving aside the need to expose repentance as primary condition for which the individual truly experience the new birth is safe.
Jesus can free a person from sin - salvation - but if this person is born again he can not enter the kingdom of God. This is the message that was Nicodemus heard of the Lord Jesus and reported to us by John in chapter three of his gospel.
This is a picture for us today than was the Old Testament and the New Testament is that the law is Santa Jesus said, by law a man could be free from the consequences of sin, however human nature made her return to practice of sin, do not be surprised, this is what happens in many churches today.
Salvation is the recognition that we are sinners, in repentance before our sinful condition in receiving Jesus as son of God our Lord, this is when the individual experiences the miracle of the new birth, characterized by four aspects resulting in salvation: Justification, Regeneration, Adoption, and Sanctification.
The new birth is therefore a result of the faith reposed in the person of Jesus, through the sinful state of awareness, which should result in repentance, enabling the action of the Holy Spirit convict the man of sin, judgment and righteousness.
According to what Jesus told Nicodemus that this miracle based on three truths: Jesus' death on the cross; No one has ascended to heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:13-15
In God's love for humanity; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through him. John 3. 16-17
In human responsibility; Whoever believes in him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3. 18
We can not say exactly how the new birth occurs, but we can see its effects, for it is he that conditions us to have a spiritual life, a relationship with God, where His Word is clear and easy to understand, so we can experience miracles and action of the Holy Spirit walking in total submission to God's will.
And so, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5. 17 This means that the new birth takes us literally to the dimension of the kingdom under the guidance of the Word of God, the human being requalifying to start walking under the influence and direction of the Holy Spirit.
It is precisely this condition that many have forgotten and left by the wayside to occupy a position that the Bible says is ours. Being born again means to have the life of God within you, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16)
is to try to live according to the will of God himself, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (Romans 8:14) by the Spirit is to have the conviction that we are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus, "The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God." (Romans 8:16)
The new birth is without a shadow of a doubt why Jesus gave himself, going to death, even death on a cross, this pave the way towards enabling free that humanity has the opportunity to again experience a relationship with their creator.
This fact has been forgotten by those who confess the name of Jesus, as is the influence of the world cauterizasse this truth in the minds of the children of God, making us forget our position once we have passed from death to life by through faith in Jesus.
The practice of the gospel must be lived based on the truth of the new birth, therefore, before the ecclesiastical neglect are children, sheep instead of receiving care are going astray without knowing what to do, sheep without a shepherd. This fact was exposed to in the text "Ye are of God little children ...".
You must return the original message of the Gospel to remind the Church, we are the children! We are a new creature, born of God's will. You're not who you think is, or even what others think you are, but you are what God through His Word says you are. So in the face of life's difficulties, react according to what you really are ..., Son!
Let the Holy Spirit show his true position, read the Bible. To you dear reader, we now know this fact, and has not decided yet, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through Him (John 14. 6) You will only succeed in life if get a life
only be saved if going through the new birth experience, so that it can in fact meet the Lord God. This is the Word of God, His will is for you to become His child and that Jesus Christ gave himself for love of you, believe in Him, in His Word and enjoy God's best for your life.
I invite you to pray this time, repeat this prayer out loud. God! Creator of heaven and earth. I understand the condition of nature that operates in me that makes me a sinner. I repent of mistakes in my life, whether conscious or unconscious. In your presence I reject evil and all his influence.
I cry unto thee in the name of thy son Jesus, who receive Him as Lord of my life. Yes! Lord Jesus, I accept You as my Lord, my Savior, my life saddle with your Holy Spirit. Stretch your grace on me, cover me with your blood, forgive my sins.
Make me a new creature by the action of your Word, with the Holy Spirit. According to thy promise gives the gift of the Holy Spirit. For every day of my new life I can give testimony of thy name. I appreciate what you did for me, for the wonderful salvation which thou now gives me, amen.
Now that you've accepted Jesus, look for a church, because now the Holy Spirit of God dwelleth in you and He will guide you to the place you should be. May the Grace and Peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be upon your life.
