Renascimento
Nascer de novo é o início da vida cristã. Jesus ensinou que sem o novo nascimento ninguém pode ver o Reino de Deus. É uma obra sobrenatural do Espírito Santo.
Nascer de novo
Jesus declarou a Nicodemos: 'Aquele que não nascer de novo não pode ver o Reino de Deus.' O renascimento é pela água e pelo Espírito.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is begotten from the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten from the Spirit is spirit.
5 he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Nova criação em Cristo
Quem está em Cristo é nova criação. Nascemos de novo pela Palavra viva e permanente de Deus, não de semente corruptível.
17 So then if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
23 begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God that lives and remains into the age.
3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who begot us again according to his abundant mercy for a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
2 as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,
Os frutos do renascimento
Quem nasceu de Deus vence o mundo, ama o próximo e tem a certeza de que Deus completará a boa obra que começou.
4 Because everything that has been begotten from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
7 Beloved, we should love each other. Because love is of God, and every man who loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
6 Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
