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.
Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
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.
He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by 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.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
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,
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
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.
because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
