The Most Important Words You’ll Ever Hear

                                The Most Important Words You’ll Ever Hear

 

One night, Jesus was setting out to meet with His friend, Nicodemus.  He had to meet with Nicodemus at night because Jesus was under scrutiny from His friend’s colleagues, the Pharisees and Sadducees.  Nicodemus was perhaps one of Jesus’ best friends.  Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus that unless a man is born again, he shall never enter into the kingdom of Heaven (see John 3:3,5, 36).  Nicodemus came up with silly statements, asking Jesus how a man could crawl back into his mother’s womb to be reborn.  Knowing Nicodemus’ background and wealth of knowledge of the Scriptures, Jesus told him, “don’t be stupid, you know the Scriptures, the prophecies, you know what I am referring to.  It’s a spirit rebirth”

The Bible tells us clearly and without mystery how we can be reborn and assured of our etrnal home with Jesus!  Jesus is the way the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father without going through Jesus, the Son (John 14:6).  This is because there is no other name by which we can possibly be saved (Acts 4:12)

So how are we to be reborn? Romans 10:9 10 and verse 13 says exactly how to be born again.  “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart at God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It is not through anything we can do.  First, you have to believe that God, in fact, exists, then that He has a Son who He sent to dwell among us. Then call on Jesus to save you.  We all have sinned, done wrong, at some point in your life.  Tell Him you are aware of it and tell Him you are sorry (this is called repentance).  When you pray (talk to Him), you have been reborn!  Ask Jesus to send you the Holy Spirit to guide your steps for the remainder of your days. 

Congratulations on your rebirth!  You are a new creature in Christ, and have been adopted into God’s family, whereby you are now a child of God and can cry out, “Abba, Father, at anytime!  

Next, get a Bible and read it often.  Get into fellowship with other believers, whether it be a Bible study group or a church.   While there are many denominations, versions of the Bible etc. you should find one in which you feel comfortable.  I, personally prefer the King James Version and a house church format.  It is the type of church mentioned often in the New Testament.  However, I find the King James Vrsion, New King James Version, or New International Version to be the best and most accurate translations.

I recommend daily prayer time with your Father and regular Scripture reading.  I have daily readings I post on my facebook page  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/His-Truth-Ministries/185597828134449?fref=ts
