Believe in the Gospel》10
Peace to all brothers and sisters!
Today we continue to examine fellowship and share "Belief in the Gospel"
Let’s open the Bible to Mark 1:15, turn it over and read together:Said: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel!"
Lecture 10: Believing in the gospel regenerates us
That which is born of flesh is flesh; that which is born of spirit is spirit. Don’t be surprised when I say, “You must be born again.” John 3:6-7
Question: Why must we be reborn?
Answer: Detailed explanation below
1 Unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God - John 3:32 Cannot enter the kingdom of God - John 3:5
3 Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God - 1 Corinthians 15:50
Therefore, the Lord Jesus said: “Do not be surprised that you must be born again.”
If a person is not regenerated, he does not have the Holy Spirit. Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will not understand the Bible. No matter how many times you read it, you will not understand the Bible or understand what the Lord Jesus said. For example, the disciples who followed Jesus at the beginning did not understand what Jesus said. When Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven, and the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and received power, and then they understood what the Lord Jesus said. So, do you understand?
Question: Why cannot flesh and blood inherit the kingdom of God?Answer: The perishable (cannot) inherit the incorruptible.
Question: What is perishable?Answer: The Lord Jesus said! What is born of the flesh is the flesh. Our flesh is born of our parents → we were created from the dust of Adam. Because of sin, Adam’s flesh will decay and see death, so he cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
Question: Did Jesus also have a body of flesh and blood?Answer: Jesus was born of the Heavenly Father, came down from Jerusalem in heaven, was conceived by a virgin and was born by the Holy Spirit. He is the Word incarnate, he is spiritual, holy, sinless, incorruptible, and does not see death! Reference Acts 2:31
Our flesh, which came from the dust of Adam, has been sold to sin, and the wages of sin is death. Therefore, our flesh is corruptible and mortal. The body created by flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. So, do you understand?
Question: How can we inherit the kingdom of God?
Answer: Must be reborn!
Question: How are we born again?Answer: Believe in Jesus! Believe the gospel, understand the word of truth, and receive the promised Holy Spirit as a seal. We cry out: "Abba, Father!" The Holy Spirit testifies with our hearts that we are children of God - Romans 8:15-16; Everything from God Whoever is born does not sin, amen! Refer to 1 John 3:9. This proves that you have been born again. Do you understand this?
We will study and share with brothers and sisters in detail about "Rebirth" in the future. Well, I will share it here today.
Let us pray together: Dear Abba Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank the Holy Spirit for guiding us children to believe the gospel and understand the way of truth, allowing us to receive the promised Holy Spirit as a seal, become children of God, and understand rebirth! Only those who are born of water and the Spirit can see the kingdom of God and enter the kingdom of God. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us the word of truth and for giving us the promised Holy Spirit to regenerate us! AmenTo the Lord Jesus! Amen
