BORN AGAIN.

To fully understand the Bible, you must be born again! This is the first and the fundamental doctrine of Christ recorded in the gospel of John.

The story goes: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said to him, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born again when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:1-7).

The apostle Paul says, “All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Bible is the Word of God that only born again believer filled with the Spirit can understand what God wants to impart.

Those who receive the doctrine of Jesus Christ as Divine are born again Christians, and have been enlightened by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; for they are also filled with the Word of God, the Bible. They see not only the plain history of Christ and Him crucified, but the deep and admirable designs of Divine wisdom that is involved in the process. It is the mystery made manifest to the saints, to the born again Christians, even the mystery which has been hid from the ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to all believers (Colossians 1:26).

There are things God has prepared for those that love Him, and wait for Him, which normal man cannot discover, no teaching can convey to our ears, nor can it enter our hearts, unless we are born again in the Spirit—born from above. We must take the Word of God as they stand in the Scriptures, as God has been pleased to reveal them to us (1 Corinthians 2:9), but hid to them that do not believe 2 (Corinthians 4:4).

God has revealed true wisdom to us by His Spirit. The Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures Peter says, “… No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but by holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:20-21). In proof of the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures, observe that He knows all things, and He searches all things, even the deep things of God. No one can know the things of God, but by His Holy Spirit, who is one with the Father and the Son, and who makes known Divine mysteries to His church. This is most clear testimony, both to the real Godhead and the distinct person of the Holy Spirit. The apostles were not guided by worldly principles. They had the revelation of these things from the Spirit of God (Read Jude 3), and the saving impression of them from the same Spirit. These things they declared in plain, simple language, taught by the Holy Spirit, totally different from the affected oratory or enticing words of man’s wisdom. The natural man, the wise man of the world received not the things of the Spirit of God. The pride of carnal reasoning is really as much opposed to true spirituality, as it is based in sensuality and emotions. The sanctified mind discerns the real beauties of holiness, but the power of discerning and judging about common and natural things is not lost. But the carnal man is stranger to the principles, and pleasures, and actions and works of Divine life. (Read 1 Corinthians 2:10-16)

The spiritual man is the person to whom God gives the knowledge of His will. How little have any known of the mind of God by natural power! And the apostles were enabled by His Spirit to make known His mind. In the Holy Scriptures, the mind of Christ, and the mind of God in Christ, are fully made known to us. It is the great privilege of Christians, that they have the mind of Christ revealed to them by His Spirit. They experience His sanctifying power in their hearts and bring forth good fruits in their lives.

The saints, the born again Christians are the only Spirit filled believers. The same Spirit that anointed Christ (Isaiah 61:1-2a) is the same Spirit that anoints all born again believers. The same Spirit also Convicts (John 16:1,8,11); Regenerates (John 3:3,5); Sanctifies (Romans 15:16); Anoints (1John 2:20,27); Empowers (Acts 1:8); Guides (16:13); Gives gifts (1 Corinthians 12:3-11); Bears fruits (Galatians 5:22-23); Illuminates the mind (Ephesians 1:16-17); Teaches (14:26); Testifies of Christ (John 15:26); and Transforms (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Billy Graham says, “It is better not to have been born at all, than not to have been born again.”

meron akong i-share sa inyo...


There was once a Shakesperian actor who was known far and wide for his one-man show of readings and recitations from the classics. He would always end his performance with a dramatic reading of the twenty-third psalm. Each night, without exception, as the actor began his recitation- THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT- the crowd would listen attentively. And then, at the conclusionof the psalm, they would rise in thunderous applause in appreciation of the actor's incredible ability TO BRING THE VERSE TO LIFE.

But One night, just before the actor was to oofer his customary recital of PSALM twenty three, a young man from the audience spoke up. "Sir, Do You mind if tonight I recite the Twenty-third Psalm?"
The actor was quite taken back by this unusual request, but he allowed the young man to come forward and stand front and center on the stage to recite the psalm, knowing that the ability of this unskilled youth would be no match for his own talent.

With a soft voice, the young man began to recite the words of the Psalm. When he was finished , there was no applause. There was no standing ovation as on other nights. All that could be heard was the sound of weeping. The audience had been so moved by the young man's recitation, that every eye was full of tears.

Amazed by what we heard, the actor said to the youth, "I don't understand. I have been performing the Twenty-Third Psalm for years. I have a lifetime of experience and training--but I have never been able to move as audience as you have tonight. Tell me, what is your secret?"

The young man humbly replied,"Well Sir, you know the Psalm.....
but I know the Shepherd."
