Jesus’ Words in Red Born From Above

Jesus’ Words in Red

Born From Above

 

There is a D. N. A. structure difference

When God created man He breathed into him and he became a living being

Since that time every person needs the air on this earth to live

You take away the air and the body dies

God again is breathing into man, it is His Spirit

It is that breath of God’s Spirit living in us that changes our direction

 

Those who are “led” by the Spirit are sons of God

 

The one born of the Spirit will live forever

Born From Above

When Jesus said…

 “You must be born again”

The word “again” in the Greek is

more accurately interrupted…

“Anew or from above”

“You must be born from above”

In verse 6 Jesus says…

What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh

[of the physical is physical];

and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Being born again or from above

is to be born of the Spirit.

There is a D. N. A. structure difference.

When God created man He breathed

into him and he became a living being.

Since that time every person

needs the air on this earth to live.

You take away the air and the

spirit of that person leaves the body.

God again is breathing

into man, it is His Spirit.

It is that breath of God’s Spirit living

in us that changes our direction.

 

Those who are “led” by

the Spirit are sons of God.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba,  Father." 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Romans 8:14-17 NIV

Galatians 5:16 NIV tells us…

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will

not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Being Born of the Spirit changes everything

because the person born of the flesh

lives to satisfy the desires of the flesh.

The person born of the Spirit lives

to satisfy the desires of the Spirit.

People born of the Spirit are not

understood by those born of the flesh.

Those born of the flesh do not know where

those born of the Spirit are coming from.

The reason is this wind or breath

of the Spirit comes from Heaven.

The wind or breath of the Spirit comes

from an “eternal view” not a temporary view.

The wind blows (breathes) where it wills;

and though you hear its sound, yet you neither

know where it comes from nor where it is going.

So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. V. 8

Jesus in John 3:12 says…

 “I tell you of heavenly things”

Jesus says…

“no one has ever gone up to heaven,

but there is One Who has come down from heaven

 — the Son of Man”

Jesus makes the point that He is the only one

with the answers to being born from above.

Jesus foretells of the cross experience

that will confirm He is from heaven.

Then Jesus makes the point…

15 In order that everyone who believes in Him

[who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him]

may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!

Eternal life, living forever, is for

everyone who is born of the Spirit.

When the breath of this life is knocked

out of us, the one born of the Spirit will

still have breath that will lead them to heaven.

Are you born and led by the Spirit?

If so how has your life changed?

  

Scripture Reading

John 3:3-15 AMP

3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born?

5 Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God. [Ezek 36:25-27.] 

6 What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not [do not be surprised, astonished] at My telling you, You must all be born anew (from above).

8 The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered by asking, How can all this be possible?

10 Jesus replied, Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet do not know nor understand these things? [Are they strange to you?] 

11 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, We speak only of what we know [we know absolutely what we are talking about]; we have actually seen what we are testifying to [we were eyewitnesses of it]. And still you do not receive our testimony [you reject and refuse our evidence — that of Myself and of all those who are born of the Spirit].

12 If I have told you of things that happen right here on the earth and yet none of you believes Me, how can you believe (trust Me, adhere to Me, rely on Me) if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven, but there is One Who has come down from heaven — the Son of Man [Himself],Who is (dwells, has His home) in heaven. 

14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross], [Num 21:9.] 

15 In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] maynot perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!
