John 3:3 (KJV): “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.”
John 3:7 (KJV): “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
1 Peter 1:23 (KJV): “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
OR?
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV): “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Colossians 1:27 (KJV): “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
Ephesians 1:3 (KJV): “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”
Is “being born again” for the church, the body of Christ today? I would hope that this question will instill a desire for you to search the scriptures and see what is said. Are we to be born again as Jews were directed by Christ to Nicodemus, the nation of Israel? Or are we to be made a new creation in Christ? which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Can’t be both, it has to be one or the other! Being “born again” under law or a “new creation” by grace through faith?
