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 replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.Or born from above; also in verse 7."
Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.Or born from above; also in verse 7."
"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?"
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. Do not be amazed that I said, ‘YouThe Greek word for you is plural; also in verse 12. must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. Do not be amazed that I said, ‘YouThe Greek word for you is plural; also in verse 12. must be born again.’
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
The Greatest in the Kingdom
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. "Truly I tell you," He said, "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
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.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is 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 to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God — children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
A Living Hope
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By 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 is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Children of God
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.
And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh, so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
