Begotten Again - Born Again

1Pe 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently--

1Pe 1:23  having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

Begotten again means-

Joh 3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Born again- begotten again.

Born not of CORRUPTIBLE SEED.  Born of INCORRUPTIBLE SEED.

Born of-- 

Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Joh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Joh 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Born of incorruptible seed, born of the Spirit.

Begotten again, born again.

Incorruptible seed, born of the Spirit.

When we are born of incorruptible seed that is the seed of the SPIRIT and we are born of the Spirit through the Word of God--

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Do you see, we must be born again through Jesus Christ our Savior if we have any hope at all whatsoever. I know we know this but we have to have this in our HEARTS. We have to have this in our lives. We have to LIVE this, breathe this, make this our life, our NEW LIFE, our born again life.

1Pe 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently--

1Pe 1:23  having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

We can love one another from the heart fervently when we are born again, living in the Spirit. Of ourselves we cannot love that way.  We CANNOT love others on our own, because the love we have of our own is a very selfish love, a corruptible love.

The Word of God lives and not only lives but ABIDES.

Abiding in the Word of God, abiding in our Savior--

Joh_14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever

The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will abide with us forever!  Jesus prays to the Father for US to have another Comforter. He comforted those He was with while He walked the earth, and the Holy Spirit is sent to comfort all those who are His while He is no longer upon the earth.

Joh_15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

We have NOTHING of God unless we are living in GOD, nothing. We can do NOTHING of ourselves.  Even our Savior could do NOTHING of Himself while He was upon earth.

Joh_5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

The biggest trouble with us is that we seek our own will, we do it all the time. We think of ourselves first before everything. We think of our feelings, our needs, our desires, our wants, our time, our actions, we focus on ourselves more than anything else. We put ourselves first in  all things we do it all the time. And we need Christ to live in us so that we can put CHRIST first in all things.

Joh_15:6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

If we are NOT in Christ we are dead, the living dead, and our fate is to burn.  We must live in Christ, He must be alive in us, a part of us through the Holy Spirit!

Joh_15:7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

All by the GRACE of GOD! All through HIS LOVE, we abide.

Joh_15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

TRUTH!

TRUTH!

So why do we not believe the truth?

Our Savior kept His Father's commandments and not one jot or one tittle was every taken away from that law.  Our Savior kept the Father's Commandments and if He kept the Father's commandments then we must keep the commandments that He kept, His commandments. Our Savior said this--

Luk_16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

It always comes back to the laws given to us, the laws of LOVE.

Joh_14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jesus' words.

If we love Him, we will abide in His love and if we keep His commandments we are abiding in His love, if we are loving Him we are keeping His commandments.

HE and HE alone makes it possible for us to keep His commandments, for us to love HIM.

Everything is CHRIST!

Please, Lord, please let us love YOU, let us abide in YOU always!

1Pe 1:23  having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

All by HIM!

In HIS LOVE.
