Church attendance, baptism, conformation, speaking in
tongues doesn’t save you. You’re only saved when you’re born again.
Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom
of God .
John 3:3(KJV)
To be born again is quite simple:
Recognize you’re a sinner, somebody who is
unworthy, somebody who knows he/she has broken God’s Law (Ten Commandments) somebody who knows
that he/she deserves to go to hell.
But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 21:8(KJV)
Realize that Jesus Christ died for your sins. A description of God’s love
toward us. It is love given to the undeserving, to the ungodly and to sinners.
This emphasizes the fact that the reasons for God’s love are found in Him, not
in us. God’s love is so great that in His love, He went to the ultimate measure
to make us able to stand in the face of His holy righteousness through Jesus;
God gave His love for us even when we are guilty sinners.
But God commendeth his
love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8(KJV)
Repent of your sins, and change your mind from the
rejection of Jesus Christ to the faith of Jesus Christ that produces a change
of heart. God commands everyone to repent.
And the times of this ignorance
God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he
hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by
that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Acts 17:30-31(KJV)
Believe in the death, burial and resurrection, put your faith,
trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you and you will pass from death to eternal life and become a new creature in Christ. Read the Holy Bible daily and ask God to help you obey what you read.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:24 KJV
Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things
are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17(KJV)
This is a promise for
anyone! It doesn’t matter what class, what race, what nationality, what
language, or what level of intelligence. Anyone can be a new creation in Jesus
Christ. However, being a new creation doesn’t mean that we are perfect, it
means that we are changed inwardly, and learn through God’s word (Holy Bible) and the power
of the Holy Spirit how we should live being born again in Christ.
