18 | What does it mean to be born again? Breaking down the plan of salvation.
🙌🏾 The plan of salvation is easy.
This week The Most High laid it on my heart to break down the plan of salvation and explain what it means to be born again. Although the plan is clear the enemy has done a number on MANY at distorting and confusing minds on such a straightforward process. Wherever you are in your relationship with Yah, I pray that this episode is a blessing to you. Feel free to reach out and ask questions.
🛣️ The Romans Road To Salvation:
Many Christians when asked about salvation refer to Romans 10:9 as the path to salvation and proceed to lead one seeking into a prayer that repeats this verse.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
☝🏾What the Savior said about salvation:
🚨The book of John revealed the plan of salvation, the book of Acts demonstrated the plan of salvation, and the book of Romans reiterates that salvation is in Jesus.
John 3: 1-7 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
🤔 What does it mean to be Born again: refers to a spiritual rebirth or regeneration of the human spirit.
* Being born again means that spiritually you are reconnected with The Most High Yah. (From when sin separated us from Him via Adam & Eve) Isaiah 59:2
* It means you are now spiritually back in fellowship with Yah (where He can speak to you and guide you and direct you).
* Because you have been reconnected with Yah, even when you die you will inherit the kingdom of God and live forever in peace with Him.
🤔 What are you saved from?
You are saved from eternal separation and destruction from Yah.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
🤔 What are you saved to?
To live with Him forever in peace.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Serve Yah in the beauty of holiness
* Holiness is your new lifestyle through Christ. Remember Ep. 16 Holiness keeps you safe.
4 Parts to Salvation:
Salvation demonstrated In the Book of ACTS
Acts 2:38 - The first time anyone received the Holy Spirit after Jesus’ revelation of salvation in John. This one scripture lists all 3 steps to salvation.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
STEP #1: Repentance: The conscious act of reviewing one’s actions, feeling genuine regret or contrition for wrongdoing, and making a committed resolve to change behavior for the better. Godly sorrow.
John the forerunner of Jesus preached repentance because without it you cannot get to the place where you see a need for being born again.
STEP #2: Water baptism in the name of Yahusha (Jesus) by immersion. A burial of your sins.
Name vs Titles:
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Baptism by Immersion
Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
STEP #3: Receive the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.
Whenever scripture records people receiving the Holy Spirit they spoke in tongues. Tongues and power precede the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:1-4: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 10:44-46 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Acts 19:4-6 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
The book of John revealed the plan of salvation, the book of Acts demonstrated the plan of salvation, and the book of Romans reiterates that salvation is in Jesus.
Utterance is given by GOD only!
Acts 2:4 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
STEP #4: Live holy
Holiness manifests the fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Verses 19-21 Speaks about what manifests when you are NOT let of The Holy Spirit
Verse 22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
