"BOTH OF YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN"



BOTH OF YOU MUST BE "BORN AGAIN" BEFORE ENTERING  HEAVEN........

We are all born into the world with BOTH our natural BODY and our natural SOUL , and with the sin nature inherited from Adam. BOTH our natural SOUL, and our natural BODY must be "BORN AGAIN" of the Spirit   BEFORE either can enter into the Kingdom of God according to :

John 3:3

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except A MAN BE BORN AGAIN , he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

John 3:6-7

"That which is BORN of the FLESH is FLESH, and that which is BORN of the SPIRIT is SPIRIT."

1 Peter 1:22-23

"Seeing that YOU HAVE PURIFIED YOUR SOULS in obeying the Truth through the Holy Spirit.......... Being BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but by incorruptible BY THE WORD OF GOD which liveth and abideth forever."

1 Corinthians 15:49-50

"And as WE HAVE BEEN BORN the image of the earthly, we also SHALL BE BORN in the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that FLESH and BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT the Kingdom of God."

2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore if any MAN BE IN CHRIST , HE IS A NEW CREATURE; Old things are PASSED AWAY . Behold, ALL THINGS BECOME NEW."

SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT :

We are born into this life with a NATURALLY born body and a NATURALLY born soul , neither of which can enter into the Kingdom of God without being BORN AGAIN with a SPIRITUALLY born body and a SPIRITUALLY born soul  "BY THE WORD OF GOD".  

When we FIRST believe in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, our natural SOUL IS "BORN AGAIN" , and we become a "NEW CREATURE" with a SPIRITUALLY  NEW SOUL which can now enter into heaven when we die or are raptured. We are then SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT and SANCTIFIED , ie. set apart, for the DAY OF REDEMPTION when our BODIES will be "BORN AGAIN ".

Our natural born flesh and blood body IS NOT YET "BORN AGAIN" UNTIL the 'Day of Redemption' of our bodies which is THE DAY of the resurrection & rapture of His Elect Body of Christ Church.

On the DAY OF THE RESURRECTION & RAPTURE the dead in Christ bodies will be raised , ie. "BORN AGAIN " , and the bodies of the living in Christ will be changed , ie. "BORN AGAIN" so that they also can then enter into the Kingdom of God according to :.

Romans 8:23

"Ourselves also, WHICH HAVE THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, groan within ourselves WAITING FOR THE ADOPTION which is the REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY."

Ephesians 4:30

"And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God , WHEREBY YOU ARE SEALED UNTIL the DAY OF REDEMPTION." 

On the Day of the resurrection & rapture OUR NATURAL BODIES WILL BE "BORN AGAIN" to become SPIRITUAL BODIES , and thereby REDEEMED to be able to enter into the Kingdom of God with our previously "BORN AGAIN "SOULS

According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
