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: »Truly I tell you unless a person is born again brought forth from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.«
5 Jesus responded: »I tell you truth, except a man be born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!
6 »That which is born from the flesh is flesh and that which is born from the Spirit is spirit.
5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration restorationspiritual rebirth and renewing renovation 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 If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things have passed away. Behold, they have become new.
23 You have been given a new birth, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and endures.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
2 Like newborn infants, long for the spiritual milk that is without deception to help you grow 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.
4 Everything born from God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world, even our faith.
7 Beloved let us love one another, for love is from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
6 I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
