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 "In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
5 "I tell you solemnly," Jesus answered, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
5 He saved us, not because of any deeds that we had done in righteousness, But because of his own pity for us. He saved us by that 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 there is a new creation when any man is in Christ. The old life has passed away, behold, the new is come.
23 For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;
2 Like new-born babes long for the pure spiritual milk to make you grow up into 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.
4 For whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.
7 Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loves us a child of God.
6 Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.
