New Birth
Maintenance of Jesus with Nicodemus (John Chapter 3)
1 But there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews 2 who came to him, to Jesus by night, and said: Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, if a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the womb and be born? 5 Jesus answered Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God . 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (...)
9 Nicodemus said to him: How can this be done? 10 Jesus replied: "You are Israel's teacher, and you do not know these things! (...)
, must the Son of man be lifted 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 For God loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God . 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved 21 but he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be manifest, that they are made in God.

what that the new birth for you? When we give birth, and then new, it makes you think what?
a newborn, coming into the world pure, spotless, clean, which is no
not defiled, which is not old, worn ...

What the new birth is not.
° it is not a natural birth, one born of Christian parents is not therefore a Christian.
° it is not the result of personal effort: not the will of the flesh. Nobody can be born him again even by his own efforts.
° No person can give new birth to someone else.
° this is not intellectually understand a theory.
° it is not a reform, improved morality of the human person who abandons his bad habits gradually. Many Christians try to follow God by reforming their old nature. This only leads to frustration and discouragement.
3. that is what the new birth?
. The new birth is becoming a new creature, which gives us access to the kingdom of God. The new birth is a supernatural act of God that creates in us a new nature.This is the only way to be saved.
The new birth is moving from state or spiritual death we were before conversion, to eternal life in Christ through the action of the Spirit of God within us.
Eph 4: 24 and put on the new man created by God in righteousness and holiness of truth.
2 Cor 5: 17 If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away behold all things are become new. 18 And all this comes from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ
The new birth is compulsory and is the condition to be saved and go to heaven. "Except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God "(Jn 3:3)
4. Born of water and Spirit
Water : the a new birth takes place through the Word of God, represented by the water that purifies (Eph 5:26) and (Jn 15:3).
Spirit (Holy Spirit) who comes to live to create in us a new nature.This is to say that nature gives us a holy and pure from God. Titus 3: 5 " he saved us, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit 6 he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 That being justified by his grace we might become, in hope, heirs of eternal life. "
Reminder, do not forget that we are saved by grace, through faith, and not by works (Ephesians 2:8).
A man reduced to his own strength, do not receive what comes from the mind of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not know them (1 Cor 2: 14).
So the new birth, man becomes a new being, because God has granted him a new nature (through the Holy Spirit) in us. The Holy Spirit regenerates us and gives us life and God's nature.

The four ways that produce the new birth
A. God's (Jaq 1: 18 begat he us according to His will, By the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.)
B. The death and resurrection of Christ (Jn 3:14-16) which is the engine.
C. The word of God (1 Peter 1: 23 since you have been reborn, not by corruptible seed, but by an incorruptible seed, the living and enduring word of God. )
D. The Holy Spirit which is the true agent of new birth and we just seal
Eph 4: 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. (see also Titus 3:5)

Born Again = part of worldly things
2 Corinthians 7 : 1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
7 Born Again = Victory over sin, death and evil
By accepting Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord, you are freed from the curse of Adam and Eve. Jesus delivers you from sin, your past and you are reconciled with him toujours.Votreavenir is in heaven and nothing can rob you of his hand.
8. The call of Jesus to be born again
Moving from a life centered on oneself, to a life centered on God, this is also born again . It's a fresh start our life, but in the kingdom of God. The new birth is birth to real life. Without it, it does not have followers, nor Christian, nor a genuine child of God. "You must be born again" Jesus said shows that this is not an invitation, but a requirement sine qua non for our entry into the kingdom of God. This operation occurs only times in our lives when we sincerely repent of their sins, and where we put all our faith in the sacrifice of Christ. That's when the Holy Spirit come to us, to bring us the blessings of salvation, and create in us a new nature. It is the spirit that does everything.
is the cross of Christ that makes possible the new birth, and it is by faith that we can appropriate the work of Jesus, and enter his kingdom.
9. Why should we be born again?
For his disobedience, Adam gained a fallen nature, and this natures'est forwarded to all its descendants (Rom 5:12). such as not committing sins which separate us from God (Isaiah 59:2) and it can not submit to his law. Since the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), man is lost in hell, far from God when he died.
The new birth is the miracle by which man receives a spiritual nature which is really of divine nature. This nature coexists with our old nature in us, but it allows us to experience the things of God and be saved from hell.
Man lifeless spiritual death (1 Tim 5:6) = this is the man unconverted
Man born again is alive (1 Jn 5:13) = c'estl man converted

Thank you because now you open me the gates of your kingdom. Amen "
