Salvation Through BORN AGAIN The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD 1 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN CHAPTER 1 The parable of New Birth -The son who is newly Born Again GOD, the consuming fire, taught me and told me a parable – 2 “Listen to a parable about be- ing Born Again 1 and going to the heavenly kingdom (kingdom of God) He (the King), who has the king Almighty 2 name,has ten sons. 3 He provided all things in His kingdom for their livelihood. 4 As the time passed by, they all became disobedient 3 to the King and lived as they liked by using kings’ name. 5 When they brought dishonor to their father’s name, a crime was alleged on them before Him. So He called and 6 asked them – ‘is it true what I hear about you? You are not living according to My glorious name 4 ’ 7 Therefore I said that, you are not worthy to be My children from then and you must not be called as My children at all.

What do you have to prove yourself in this offe- nce?’ 14 Then he thought in his mind that his father came to know about my lies and what can I do? I thought to flatter 9 my fat- her. So he acted as shame with 1 Jh 3:4; 8 Rev 20:15; 4 Mal 1:6; 9 Mk 7:6. 5 Mt 18:24;
