Salvation Through BORN AGAIN
18 II ‘Therefore, just as sin ent-
ered the world through one man,
and death through sin, and in this
way death came to all 1 men,
because all sinned,’ and curse
before death.
19 The old nature came to us
because Adam broke the com-
mandment of God. Therefore we
committed many sins against
God.
20 We should be counted as bla-
meless by the Lord from the sins
we committed. The reason is - it
is the only saints who can have
the fellowship with the saints.
21 One among you, who is a
preacher, gentile, may stand and
ask ‘how can I be counted as
blameless by God who is Holy?’
22 Beware that you may not be
like the small children who don’t
understand the word we tell you.
Another man asks and explained
– ‘what is it to be Born Again
from above?’
23 ‘Beware, then, how you live
- not as unwise but as wise 2 .’ I
think that you already heard the
gospel and accepted it.
24 Though one may doesn’t kn-
ow what the gospel is but yet he
is preaching as a preacher of the

word.
25 Woe to him, let him be acc-
ursed. Many apostates are pre-
aching by taking the Holy Bible
that gospel is nothing but the go-
od news. But they couldn’t de-
fine the gospel?
26 What good news is there in
this world? The other man says
that the gospel is telling about
God.
27 To say this matter symbolic
–one seller came and said ‘those
who are in need come, those
who don’t have money, come
and eat.
28 Come, all you who are thir-
sty, come to the water. You who
have no money, come! Buy and
eat. Come! Buy wine and milk
without money and without pri-
ce, and listen diligently to Me,
and eat what is good 3 .
29 How can it be good news
about the seller? The good news
is receiving the food items freely.
30 The gospel is not telling about
God but it is telling about what
God did in His Son and what
He prepared for us through His
Son.
31 However, as it is written -
“Eye has not seen, nor ear hea -
Isa 55:1.

rd, nor have entered into the
heart of man the things which God
has prepared for those who love
him 1 ”
32 II God is making the gospel
to be heard by His children. That
is –
33 Christ died for our sins acc-
ording to the Scriptures, that
He was buried, that He rose
again the third day according
to the Scriptures 2 .
34 We are all witnesses of the
fact 3 . Where is the resurrected
Christ? We know that the Lord
Jesus is seated on the throne 4 .
35 Being counted as not imputes
sins from our past sins by the Lo-
rd, who is seated on the throne,
is nothing but being Born Again
from above.
36 Jesus, who came down to ea-
rth and overcame death, asce-
nded to heaven. He sat on the
throne. Beyond that, He is inter-
ceding for us before the Father.
37-40 Finally, the scripture says
that all men are sinners and tre-
spassers. It puts the guilty on us.
But the Lord Jesus, who is seated
on the throne, only can count us
as not impute sins from all the
allegations of the scripture. He

alone has the authority on the
earth to forgive the sins of men.
The reason is, is it not the farm-
er who gets the first shares in
the crop because he worked ha-
rd for it? So He, who died for
our sins and rose again from the
tomb, only has the power to for-
give our sins.
41 It is written about this that
– you may know that the Son
of Man has power on earth to
forgive sins 5 .
42 How can God of gods, who
is above the heavens and Living
One, make a covenant (pro-
mise) that He can forgive the
sins of men?
43 How the incident of New
Birth is possible in a man, who
is a sinner?
44 The Lord Jesus said about
the mystery of New Birth –
“Verily, Verily, I say unto
you, Except a man be Born
of Water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the Heav-
enly Kingdom (Kingdom of
God) 6 ”
45 You should remember that
this is a prominent and living
command among all other com-
mands of God, the consuming
