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.

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 who is begotten of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcame the world—our faith.
