LESSON #2 - WHAT HAPPENS AT THE NEW BIRTH
|
|
John 3:6
|
You are born into the spiritual realm. Your spirit is born again.
|
|
2 Corinthians 5:17
|
You are a new creation. Your past record is forgiven.
|
|
2 Peter 1:4
|
We have the nature of God planted on the inside of us. This
doesn't make us divine but united to God's divinity.
|
|
Romans 5:17
|
We have the gift of grace and righteousness (right standing
with God) given to us at the time of our new birth.
|
|
John 1:12
Romans 8:16-17
|
We become a son (daughter) of God by God's power. We
are heirs to God's inheritance. We share in everything that Jesus Christ receives from the Father.
|
|
Ephesians 1:3
|
We are bless with all spiritual blessings now. God isn't
holding anything back that He thinks will help us out.
|
|
I John 5:12
|
We have Eternal Life, or the Life of God in us. Jesus has
come to give us life to the fullest possible, not only while we are alive, but for all eternity.
|
|
Romans 5:1
|
We are justified before God. This means that if we were in
God's court of law, he wouldn't be able to find anything to condemn us with, even though we have (sinned) done things
wrong. God did all he needed to do through Christ so that God could fully acquit you of all charges against you. We have peace
with God-there is nothing between us.
|
|
Romans 5:10
|
We have also be reconciled to God. At one time there was
something between us, and it was because of what we had done, not God. But in spite of that, God made the move to be reconciled
to us. Now, because of Christ, there is nothing between us!
