NEW BIRTH IS BY THE SPIRIT SERIES: Recent Episodes
GICTC Home of the Warrior's
This is a series of teaching about the new born by the spirit. Every person that comes to Yahushua and receive Him as their Lord and Savior must under go this process of new birth in-order to enter the Kingdom of Yahuwah. You must be born-again.
The world cannot "see" the Spirit, for He is invisible and known through faith. The world cannot hear the Spirit of "truth," for the world is listening to the father of lies. The Holy Spirit of truth is separated from all that is sinful and false. Therefore He deals with us, like God the Father, on the basis of sins removed by Christ's death, burial and resurrection. You recall how the Spirit says that water baptism "saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 3:21).
Choice consists of the mental process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one or more of them. While a choice can be made between imagined options ("what would I do if ...?"), often a choice is made between real options and followed by the corresponding action.
Good News of the Spirit
The Holy Spirit is active and powerful in every part of the Gospel: Through the old prophets the Spirit predicts the coming of Christ (1 Peter 1:10-12).
"The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation. They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them]. It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves and their period of time, but for you. [It is these very] things which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the good news (the Gospel) to you by the [same] Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things [the very] angels long to look!" (1 Peter 1:10-12 AMP)
Nicodemus is "born of the flesh." Like us, therefore, he tends to think in fleshly ways - even when trying to understand the spiritual world. When Jesus requires a new birth, Nicodemus thinks of a second physical birth. So Jesus repeats His requirement in a way Nicodemus might recognize: "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:5).
