Where Is Scripture in Bible Ye Must Be Born Again

Here are my top seven Bible verses about beingness born again.

John 3:iii "Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless i is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Nicodemus had come to Jesus at nighttime to speak with Him about salvation saying "Rabbi, we know that y'all are a instructor come from God, for no ane can do these signs that you practice unless God is with him" (John 3:ii) just instead of Jesus receiving this compliment, He directed Nicodemus' attending to the fact that you lot must be born again to even meet the kingdom of God (John 3:3). The words "built-in once more" indicates that it is a work of God as the Greek says "born from higher up" so every child of God is born from higher up, past God'southward will, and so that nosotros can take no credit for ourselves and boast or brag almost it (Eph 2:viii-9).

Outset Peter 1:22-23 "Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly beloved, love one some other earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, non of perishable seed merely of imperishable, through the living and constant give-and-take of God."

The Apostle Peter also refers to the phrase built-in again and pinpoints the source; it was out of an imperishable seed which came by "the living and abiding word of God" showing once again that our new birth comes only past God'southward edict and this included the means of the Discussion of God or Scripture. This shows that the power of conservancy is the very power of God that leads to salvation and it's found in the gospel (Rom one:sixteen).

Colossians 2:xiii "And you, who were expressionless in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses."

What does Paul mean that nosotros were dead in our trespasses? He is proverb that "having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the expressionless" so we needed a resurrection also. We had to exist raised in Christ by God's making united states of america alive and this meant we had to have our sins taken away.

John iii:6-7 "That which is born of the mankind is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do non marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born over again."

Jesus is still speaking to Nicodemus and trying to show him that we must be born of the Spirit; the Holy Spirit, as Jesus used the word "Spirit" as a proper noun, meaning that the Spirit is a Person and is the Tertiary member of the Trinity. Everyone is built-in of the flesh but just those who are God's are built-in of the Spirit. Also, this was non simply spoken to Nicodemus because Jesus said "Yous must exist born again" and the "you" is plural so Jesus is telling Nicodemus and all who read this passage that all of the states must exist born again before we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

First Peter 1:ii-iv "Blessed be the God and Male parent of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his slap-up mercy, he has caused us to exist born over again to a living promise through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you."

Once once more the Campaigner Peter refers to the tern "born again" and shows that God has "caused u.s. to be born again" meaning it was not our ain doing. God alone saves and then He alone deserves the glory. This inheritance, reserved for all who repent and trust in Christ every bit part of the new nascency, is being kept or held as a reservation for those in sky.

Ephesians 2:v-6 "fifty-fifty when we were expressionless in our trespasses, fabricated us alive together with Christ—by grace you take been saved— and raised the states upwards with him and seated u.s. with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."

Once again Paul writes about usa being raised from the dead from that which our trespasses had caused. We had to be "made alive" by God'southward divine will. Paul writes equally if this is already a done deal every bit he sees usa as already having been "raised upward with him" and we are now "seated…with him in the heavenly places."

John 3:viii "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its audio, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So information technology is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Jesus shows the essence of the Spirit of God, although non seen by human eyes, nosotros can see His effect on the laic'due south life just like the invisible current of air blows and yous can see the effects and hear the sounds. Even though we don't "know where it comes from or where information technology goes" nosotros know He is there. We cannot see Spirit but we can see and hear the Spirit'southward working and is bear witness that nosotros are God's own child.

Conclusion

The tardily Adrian Rogers once said if yous're built-in one time, you'll die twice merely if you're born twice, you'll die one time.  Past dying twice, he meant a physical and and so a spiritual death (Rev 21:8) and built-in twice means you're physically born and then spiritually born and if so, you'll dice only a physical death and at that point, you'll receive eternal life.  If yous accept repented and forsaken your sin and then trusted in Christ, you have been born again, from above, past God Himself. You are now a child of God but for all who refuse to humble themselves and believe they take the wrath of God constant on them at the present time (John iii:36b) but nosotros must recollect that they were "among whom nosotros all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind" (Eph ii:3), "But God, being rich in mercy, considering of the great dearest with which he loved united states even when we were dead in our trespasses, made united states of america alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved" (Eph two:4-5).
