Nascer de novo
Nascer de novo é a porta de entrada para a vida em Deus. Jesus ensinou que sem o novo nascimento espiritual, ninguém pode ver nem entrar no Reino de Deus.
A necessidade do novo nascimento
Jesus declarou a Nicodemos: 'Aquele que não nascer de novo não pode ver o Reino de Deus.' O novo nascimento é pelo Espírito.
Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God";
Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God"; Nicodemus says to Him, "How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to be born?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God; that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above; the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit."
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God; that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a child—he may not enter into it";
At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, "Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?" And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Truly I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens; whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Nova criação em Cristo
Quem está em Cristo é nova criação. Morremos e ressuscitamos com Ele para viver em novidade de vida, livres do velho homem.
so that if anyone [is] in Christ—[he is] a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, all things have become new.
We were buried together, then, with Him through the immersion into death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become planted together to the likeness of His death, [so] we also will be of the resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin, for he who has died has been set free from sin.
We were buried together, then, with Him through the immersion into death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me;
concerning the former behavior you are to put off the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices, and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who created him, where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ [is] all and in all.
Filhos de Deus
Nascemos de novo pela Palavra viva de Deus. Quem crê em Jesus recebe o direito de se tornar filho de Deus, nascido do Espírito.
but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name, who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of the dead, to an incorruptible inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens,
being begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—throughout the age;
as newborn babies, desire the reasonable, unspoiled milk, so that you may grow up to salvation, if [it] so be [that] you tasted that the LORD [is] good,
See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
and when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law, that He may redeem those under law, that we may receive the adoption as sons;
And I have given one heart to them, || And I give a new spirit in your midst, || And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, || And I have given a heart of flesh to them. So that they walk in My statutes, || And keep My judgments, and have done them, || And they have been to Me for a people, || And I am to them for God.
but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us, even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),
