NEW BIRTH
1st Peter 1:3-5: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.”
Now there is a revelation I want to be part of, and I will be, as will all believers. How can we be sure? In verse 4 (“…and into an inheritance that can never be perish, spoil or fade…”) it says our salvation cannot be lost; once we have accepted Jesus into our heart as Lord and Savior. The Word of God states this in many places and in no uncertain terms; no guess work needed.
As Jesus told Nicodemus in the garden (John 3) man must be born again; a new birth, if you will, through the Spirit from above. And we are under the protection of God until that time when we will see Him face to face.
Reading the Bible is not only informative, it is exciting and is the reason I always suggest you read it.
