Born
Again-Saved, Converted - Part II
By: Pastor Samuel Payne
3:6-“BORN
OF”
Flesh=
water bag of physical birth
When
the “water breaks” one knows the physical birth of the
child isn’t far off.
Spirit=
spiritual birth of the Holy Spirit of God
3:7
– “YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN”
Jesus
is adamant with this statement. He gives us no other options. According
to verse 3, Jesus tells us we must be born again to both see and
enter into the Kingdom of God.
To
see the kingdom of God – you must be born again.
To
enter the kingdom of God- you must be born again.
Born
Again is a term used by Jesus.
3:8
– “SO IS EVERYONE THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT”
Everyone
that is truly born of the Holy Spirit of God will experience the
Holy Spirit presence as the wind blowing! The Spirit comes on you,
convicts you of sin, leads you to Jesus, AND then moves within at
your surrender to the Lordship of Jesus in your life. You feel and
experience the effects as the sound and movement of the wind engulfs
you. Notice the word, Everyone- there is no other way.
1st
Corinthians 2:14
“Natural
Man”
1.
Not Born Again of the Spirit of God.
2.
Notice: The natural man cannot receive or accept the things or teachings
of God.
3.
Notice: The natural man considers the things of God mere foolishness.
4.
One must be born again to understand God in the spiritual realm.
5.
The mind, intelligence and education are not enough to understand
God. One understands God in the Spirit; thus the tremendous need
to surrender to the power of the Holy Spirit is joyful.
