BORN AGAIN!
Born Again!
John 3:2-9 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 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?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
Through the spirit of God we must be born again. This is a spiritual birth and allows us the “enter” the kingdom of God. This entering take place here on earth and was brought to us by God when He sent His flesh and blood son as the sacrifice for our sin.
Luke 17:20-21 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said,“The kingdom of God does not come with observation;21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there! ’For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God is within us. We were all born of God and by the choices of our flesh nature that began in the garden, we were separated from His Glory. By Christ Jesus we were made righteous back to our Lord by His Grace which came from His love for us.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
It is our Faith that we accept this great gift and walk in our rightful place with our Lord here on earth and then forever in Glory. If we are “Saved” we have already entered into the Kingdom of God, which is inside of us. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Father God we thank you for the gift of salvation and your kingdom that is inside of us. We are born again to your glory by accepting Jesus as our savior. We proclaim salvation and victory over our situations in Jesus name! Amen!

Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
