1 PETER 1:23
"For you have been BORN AGAIN, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living Word of God."
The scriptures tell us that people are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field, the grass withers and the flower fades. The Word of the Lord, however, remains forever and ever.
After you birth into this world, your time on earth was limited. Like a flower, you are here one minute and gone the next. You were condemned to die as a result of your sinful nature and death is inevitable. Many ask the question, "is that all there is?" Your challenge during your life here on earth is to learn to know, love and fear the Lord God. When you believe in Him and ask Him into your heart you will be BORN AGAIN. You will become a new person with a new spiritual life.
This second birth is not of flesh, but of the spirit, and it is everlasting. When Nicodemus asked if being born again means to go back into his mothers womb a second time, the answer was No! The second birth is of the water and of the spirit. By being born again you are not subject to the second death and eternal separation from God. Like the Lord, you will have eternal life and be present with God forever. You will have been regenerated and not from a mortal seed, but one that is everlasting and immortal. This is the "GOOD NEWS", that God has proclaimed in His Word. You can be assured that if you believe in Him you will be BORN AGAIN, and live forever!
