Admin	sis moonlight7 touched on a very important point Jesus Christ said in John 3:3 unless a person is born again they cannot inherit the kingdom of God -- now let's check it out in the koinia greek and elaborate on it some Posted : 25 Apr, 2021 07:07 AM Born again: The ancient Greek word translated again (anothen) can be also translated “from above.” This is the sense in which John used this word in John 3:31 and in John 19:11 and 19:23. Either way, the meaning is essentially the same. To be born from above is to be born again. i. “The word rendered ‘anew’ might equally be translated by ‘from above’. Both senses are true, and in the Johannine manner it is likely that we should understand both here.” (Morris) ii. Essentially, this means to have new life. A theological term for this is regeneration. It isn’t simply a moral or religious reform, but the bringing of new life. “To belong to the heavenly kingdom, one must be born into it.” (Tenney) iii. Jesus clearly said that without this – that unless one is born again – he cannot enter or be part of (see) the kingdom of God. Moral or religious reform isn’t enough. One must be born again. iv. This isn’t something that we can do to ourselves. If Jesus had said, “Unless you are washed, you cannot see the kingdom of God” then we might think, “I can wash myself.” A man might wash himself; but he could never birth himself. v. “All over the New Testament this idea of rebirth, re-creation occurs.” (Barclay) · 1 Peter speaks of being born anew by God’s great mercy (1 Peter 1:3) · 1 Peter speaks of being born anew from an imperishable seed (1 Peter 1:22-23) · James speaks of God bringing us forth by the word of truth (James 1:18) · Titus speaks to us of the washing of regeneration (Titus 3:5) · Romans speaks of dying with Jesus and rising anew (Romans 6:1-11) · 1 Corinthians speaks of new believers as new-born babes (1 Corinthians 3:1-2) · 2 Corinthians speaks of us being a new creation in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) · Galatians says that in Jesus we are a new creation (Galatians 6:15) · Ephesians says the new man is created after God in righteousness (Ephesians 4:22-24) · Hebrews says that at the beginning of our Christian life we are like children (Hebrews 5:12-14) Post Reply

Neither is born again to give words of knowledge, it is all faith. Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Corinthians 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
