Untitled Sermon (9)

THE NEW BIRTH

INTRODUCTION

PAUL LETTER TO THE SAINTS THAT WAS IN ROME WAS TO REMIND THEM THAT A LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST SHOULD SET YOU FREE FROM A LIFE OF SIN.

BUT IF YOU CONTINUE IN SIN IT WOULD MAKE YOU A SLAVE TO IT. WHEN GOD HAS SET YOU FREE FROM YOUR OLD NATURE, AND INDWELT THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU, IT FRUSTRATE GOD’S GRACE WHEN YOU GIVE INTO THE SINS OF THE FLESH.

1.PAUL SAID WE ARE DEAD TO SIN, MEANING TO BE COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT TOWARD (IN FEELINGS, REACTION, OR RESPONSE).

WHEN JESUS CHRIST COME INTO YOUR LIFE, YOUR THOUGHTS OF SIN, SHOULD BE THE WAY GOD THINK OF SIN. WHY BECAUSE YOUR HEART HAS BEEN CIRCUMCISED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND BECAUSE OF THIS YOUR PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE CHANGES.

OUR LIFE HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN CHRIST JESUS, SO WE NO LONGER HAVE TO BE CONTROLLED BY SIN, THAT WILL INTERFERE WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

A HEALTHY HEART PRODUCES GOD CONSCIENCE AND GOD’S PERSPECTIVE. BUT A EVIL HEART PRODUCES EVIL THOUGHTS, LIKE MURDER, ADULTERY, SEXUAL IMMORALITY.

GALATIANS 2:19-20 -19. FOR I THROUGH THE LAW AM DEAD TO THE LAW, THAT I MIGHT LIVE UNTO GOD. 20. I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST; NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.

THAT’S WHY WE ARE DEAD TO SIN, BECAUSE THE STING OF DEATH NO LONGER HAVE THE SAME EFFECTS ON OUR LIVES AS IT USE TO, AFTER WE GAVE OUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST.

2. THEN WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH.

WE HAVE BEEN CLEANSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM THE SELF LIFE, THE LIFE THAT OPERATE OUTSIDE THE PERIMETERS OF GOD.

WHEN THE NEW BIRTH HAPPENS A IMMERSION TAKE PLACE, THAT’S WHEN THE OLD LIFE HAS BEEN PUT TO DEATH, MEANING YOUR PAST, YOUR GUILT, AND ANYTHING IN YOUR HEART THAT IS REBELLIOUS AGAINST GOD, IS PUT TO DEATH.

IMMERSION IS DEFINED AS COVERING OR SUBMERGING IN SOMETHING.

THE CHRISTIAN IMMERSION IS WHEN SOMEONE IS BAPTIZED BY BEING COMPLETELY DUNKED UNDER WATER.

THE NEW BIRTH IS WHEN ONE ASCEND FROM THE WATER AND BECOME A QUICKEN SPIRIT. THE WORD QUICKEN MEANS TO MAKE ALIVE; TO VIVIFY; TO REVIVE OR RESUSCITATE, AS FROM DEATH.

WE WAS THE WALKING DEAD UNTIL THE HOLY SPIRIT ENTER INTO OUR LIVES.

COLOSSIANS 3:3- FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD.

3. THEN WE ARE ALIVE UNTO GOD

OUR LIVES MUST BE BORN AGAIN BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. GOD HAS BREATHED INTO YOU HIS BREATH; THE BREATH OF LIFE AND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

WE WAS SPIRITUALLY DEAD, UNTIL WE BECAME ALIVE TO GOD.

WHEN YOU BECOME ALIVE TO GOD YOU WILL DO EVERYTHING TO PROTECT WHAT YOU BELIEVE, EVEN IF YOU HAPPEN TO FALL, YOU WILL GET BACK UP AND CONFESS IT TO THE LORD WITH A SINCERE HEART. I AM NOT SAYING WE DO NOT SIN, WHAT I AM SAYING WHEN GOD COME INTO YOUR HEART, YOU SIN LESS. THIS IS THE NEW BIRTH IN JESUS CHRIST.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS LIFE.
