A Word About Life and Things
Twice Born
|
All people throughout history have had a religion of
some kind or another. Today there are hundreds of
religions in the world. Men need something to
worship. All religions are man-made. They are
something we dream up or something we learn from
other religions. We base religions on many things.
We make laws, rules, philosophies, teachings,
ideologies, customs, beliefs, practices, faith,
traditions, and idolatry into a religion. Even
atheism is a religion. Most religions believes they
have a heavenly Father and will go to heaven after
death. Even Christians cannot get to heaven through
their religion.
There are not many ways into heaven, There is one way and that is through Jesus. He is our advocate to the Father. God does not like religions. They are all man-made. God wants a relationship with us and that does not happen through religion. It happens through His Son Jesus. Jesus was God and gave that up to come to earth and live like all mankind. He was tempted the same as we are. He did not sin. When He died on the cross he took our sins upon Himself and He died in our place. He paid the price for us, so we could have a relationship with the Father. Our God loves us more than we can realize. He does not want us to make a religion out of what He has given to us. He wants a relationship with us that is a day to day way of life. We are born through our mothers. Now we must be born again. The first birth was in the flesh. The second birth is in the spirit. We are truly Twice Born when we give our lives to Jesus. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– New King James Version John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." New King James Version John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. New King James Version John 3:7 "Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born again.' 8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." New King James Version 1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, |
