Salvation Part 2
Now that you are born again you are a new creation in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” You have entered into a higher calling in life through which you have received forgiveness and are now seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenly place above all principalities and powers of the enemy. Christ now lives in you through his spirit. Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” After the fall of man in Genesis, Adam died spiritually and its through his spiritual death that it has been made impossible for anyone that is not born again to live abundant life in Christ.
The born-again experience is the only entry point and provides us with the foundation we need to be part of the kingdom of God, John 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.”
The scripture shows us that when you believe in Christ and his atoning sacrifice you are born again spiritually, this is the principal to new birth in Christ. When you allow Jesus to come to your heart through salvation, the blood of Jesus brings remission of sin thereby entirely cancelling the Adamic nature of sin. As a result you become a born-again Christian through Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus does not only bring the remission of sin but also the nature that makes you sin. Hebrews 9:22 “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.“ The Word of God brings new birth to your spirit in Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” You receive eternal life of God that has no end. This is the kind of life that is superior to death, sickness and every power of darkness. The superior limitless life of God living in your recreated spirit. 1 John 5:11-12 “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
The born-again experience is the greatest miracle that anyone could hope for. It’s not just a religious experience but empowerment that changes you from the inside. Your spirit is recreated afresh and you become a new creation in Christ. It is the only pathway to living the life of dominion that God intended for us from the very beginning. Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”.
You will begin to discover your position in relation to Christ and your inheritance as Gods son as you have now become a partaker in the Kingdom of God. 2 Peter 1:4 “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” You start to understand your value and to realise your predesignated destiny in Christ. You will start living an abundant life that was brought through Jesus’ death. John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
This is your God given opportunity to receive the most precious gift; the gift of salvation. Nobody will ever live to regret accepting this gift. Salvation is your greatest miracle, in both its earthly and eternal gifts. Please don’t procrastinate because procrastination is the thief of divine opportunities. God has a plan for you and today can be the beginning of the greatest chapter in your life.
If you would like to give your life to Jesus and experience the new life in Christ, He is ready and waiting with his arms wide open. Please repeat this prayer.
“ Dear Lord Jesus, I Come to you, I believe in Jesus Christ, your Son who died for me and was raised from the dead for my justification. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and with my heart I believe that the He died and on the third day God raised Him from the dead. Today, I surrender my life to Jesus. I receive remission of sins for my soul and I receive eternal life of God into my spirit. I receive the gift of salvation, I am saved! I am born again! I am a new creation in Christ!”
If you have invited Jesus into your life, you are now a child of God. We would love to help you with your next steps how you can grow as a Christian.
