Salvation Through BORN AGAIN
5 When they were brought be-
fore Him at the time of clearing
the debts; they did not have any-
thing 1 but stood empty handed.
6 Then the rich man had condi-
tional mercy and brings both to
a judge 2 and claimed their crime.
7 The judge tied up their hands
and legs with chains 3 and beaten
them. He decided to keep them
In the eternal prison.
8 But He gave them some time
for clearing their debts and sent
them away. So they tried to clear
Their debt. They even started
to beg but there was no use.
9 At last, they went to the door
post of the rich man’s son and
knocked, who is with full of gr-
ace 4 . They explained their con-
dition to the servants with Him.
They said that the gracious one
(rich man’s son) should save us
from the upcoming judgment.
10 They requested the servants
fell upon His feet and shall open
the gate. Finally the door was
opened to meet the gracious one.
When they asked for help, the
servant had mercy and took
them to the gracious one.
11 They prostrated before Him
and confessed every transgre-

ssion they committed. They said
that they will not sin any more 5
but asked Him to be gracious.
They pleaded Him to save them
from the upcoming judgment.
When the gracious one saw
them, He understood that they
had true repentance 6 which leads
them to the New Birth and sal-
vation for entering into God’s
kingdom.
12-13 He told them that He for-
gave them and showered His
grace upon them. He forgave all
their debt 7 . In fact, He canceled
their crime before the Judge and
allowed them to work again in
His father’s garden. In the same
way, the entrance into the kin-
gdom of God takes place”. He
who has ears, let him ear.
CHAPTER 4
WE read that God made one
man 8 as every nation of men ac-
cording to His plan so that they
may inhabit the whole earth, and
He determined the times set for
them and the exact places where
they should live.
2 Moses said regarding this that
- God blessed them.
3 God blessed them and said to
them, -“Be fruitful and multiply 9 ,

fill the earth and subdue it; have
dominion over the fish of the sea
and the birds of the air, and over
every living creature that moves
on the earth.”
4 Before men had the children,
God conducted a test in the beg-
inning so that His will may be acc-
omplished through His children?
5 To speak about this allegory –
as our children are sent to the
schools and colleges today, the
teachers take classes for them.
Finally, they conduct exams for
them!
6 In the same way, God created
the Garden in Eden for first men
and He kept them there. He wa-
nts to conduct a test for them and
He said –
7 “of every tree of the garden you
may freely eat, but of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil
you shall not eat,
8 for in the day that you eat of it
you shall surely die 1 .”
9 They did what God did not
wish. They broke the command
of God in the test and finally they
were defeated as they copied in
the exams.
10 It is said regarding this – ‘she
took of its fruit and ate. She also

gave some to her husband, who
was with her, and he ate it 2 .’
11 When they broke the com-
mand of the Lord, they were
defeated by enemy and became
sinners. Though more than twe-
nty generations are over, yet ma-
ny of us are not understand that
lawlessness is sin 3 and they live
with groaning.
12 It is written for this - ‘the
wages of sin is death 4 .’
13 God said to Adam-’because
you listened to your wife and ate
from the tree about which I co-
mmanded you, ‘You must not
eat of it,’ “Cursed is the earth
because of you 5 .’
14 Moreover, they were the
law breakers, committed sin and
were cursed. Finally they were
handed over to death.
15 The will of God expanded
towards men but the crop is mi-
xed with the wheat along with
the weeds through a first man.
16 The mankind spread like the
fruitful wine but the Holy Spirit
said through Isaiah prophet –
17 ‘Then He (the owner) expe-
cted for a crop of good grapes,
but it brought forth wild gra-
pes 6 .’
