BORN-AGAIN

David Abankwah

READ: Romans 10:9-10

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

There are categories of children. There are ones who are legitimate children: those born by a man and a woman through the natural means or biologically. There are also children who are adopted. There are children that are unborn (aborted babies). There are also inseminated babies through unnatural means. So if one claims to be a child of God, you have to ask yourself what kind of child you are. You can only be a legitimate child of God when you are born again. You have to pass through the Word of God to be born again (1 Peter 1:23).

When God wanted to become a human, He passed through the Word. Likewise, when man wants to become a God, he has to pass through the Word. This is how God became a man: The Word first entered the mouth of angel Gabriel to be carried to a virgin called Mary. The Word who was a Spirit form (John 6:63), was accepted by Mary when she received the Word. Like sin when it conceives gives birth to sin, the righteousness of God being Jesus Christ was conceived in the womb of Mary and was born as a Son of man.

God has finished creating all things but it is left with one creation more to do: That is the creation of born-again Christians. I believe that was why God rested on the seventh day to do. There are so many processes you have to go through for God to give birth to you. Like Jesus Christ went through the processes of becoming a man, you can’t skip any process. To turn from the flesh into the Spirit, to turn from the birth of father A and mother B’s birth on earth to become the son of God, you have to follow the Word of God to become a child of a heavenly Father.

These are the processes you have to go through. You have to ACCEPT that you are a sinner no matter how moral you are. Then CONFESS to God all your sins and BELIEVE that He has forgiven you. Ask God to CLEANSE your soul with the blood of Jesus Christ. Then REPENT and do your sins no more. Then you have to be baptised in a MOVING WATER like river, sea, or stream not sprinkled with water or baptised in a pool or lake. Then you have to be baptised with the SPIRIT OF GOD and PERSECUTION. After that, obey every word God has commanded and live in all righteousness and holiness.
