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 responded and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing 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, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to 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.
For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
God Is Love
Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will complete it by the day of Christ Jesus.
