"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 Word tells us that our earthly bodies are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field, the grass withers and the flower fades and dies. The Word of the Lord however remains forever and forever. When you are born into this world your time is limited and the end is inevitable. Like a flower or a wisp of smoke, you are here one moment and then gone forever. For every birth there is also one death in this world. It is the result of our sinful nature and that would be the end of it, were it not for the grace and mercy of God. So to those who think that this life is all there is, the answer is a resounding no! Your challenge or test while you are here on earth is to come to know, love, fear and worship the Lord God. If you open the door to your heart and invite the Lord in to dwell with you, at that moment you will be BORN AGAIN, and your new spiritual life will LAST FOREVER! You have God's eternal living Word on that!
This second birth or being "born again", is not one of the flesh, it is one of the spirit. You will have a new spiritual body which is everlasting or eternal. When Nicodemus asked Jesus if being born again meant to go back into his mother's womb a second time, the answer was No! The second and spiritual birth is by the water and by the spirit. You are no longer flesh that is subject to death and disease, you are a new spiritual being that will not quickly end but last forever and forever. Just think we will be present with the Lord in heaven for eternity. You will have been regenerated from and not from a mortal seed but one that is everlasting and immortal. That is the "Good News", that we as believer's have come to know and that which we must share with others. God has proclaimed it in His Word. The One Truth Today tells of His message. For if you have been BORN AGAIN, not to a life that will quickly end, your new life will LAST FOREVER, because it comes from the eternal, living Word of God!
