The New Birth Part 3

The Bible is the true gospel, a shining gospel that can not be destroyed. God uses it to cause us to be born again. Therefore we should always search the Scriptures to see whether the gospel which we have received agrees with the Bible. If it is based, even a very little, upon the ideas of men, then it is not the true gospel. I pray we may all search the Scriptures until we find the true gospel of God.

When a man has been born again, by what name is he called in the Bible? “Wherefore if any man is in Christ, there is a new creation.” 2Cor. 5:17. “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.” Col. 3:10;see also Gal. 6:15. The Bible tells us that God created Adam after his own likeness. Gen. 1: 26,27. At that time man’s heart was good, but after Adam’s fall into sin, man’s heart became evil. Gen. 6:5.

When God causes us to be born again, it is as if he recreates us and gives us a good heart just like the one Adam had when he was created; therefore he calls a man who has been born again, “a new creation.”

He is one raised from the dead. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved): and hath raised us up together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus .” Eph. 2:4-6. See also Rom. 6:4; Col.2:12.

Previously we obeyed the lusts of the flesh and did that which we should not, but now we must obey the Holy Spirit and walk according to his commands, “not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.” Rom. 8:4,5.

Education

True education is a grand science; for it is founded on the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. It's that element of "Understanding" God's ways.

Listen, we need the truth. The truth -"is" "what is"- and our LORD claimed to be "THE Truth".

Any form of education that does not pursue the truth is not worth having.
