Salvation Through BORN AGAIN not born of God’s promise but he received grace. 14 Second was born of promi- se. So he became a promise. All those born of man’s will are like the one born of man’s will. 15 We know very well the Born Again is like the one born of promise. All those born of New Birth all are promised children. 16 So you should know that de- eds of Moses Law can’t make anyone to be Born Again. 17 Also understand that a sinner is Born Again by God’s grace. No one can make enter the king- dom of God except by the Spirit. The Forgiven Son 18 II Understand the parable, which God, the consuming fire, says – 19 A wise woman, who wore the clothes of sorrow, came to a king with weeping. She pleaded him –“Oh king, please save me.” Then the king said – “tell me, what is your trouble?” 20 Then the woman said – “I am truly a widow and I have two sons. 21Once both were fighting in the field. When there was no one to stop them, one was murdered. 108 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD 22 Therefore, behold, the whole family of mine is raised against me. They said that deliver him that smote his brother, they want to destroy the heir who killed his brother. 23 She said that they try to que- nch the remaining coal which is left.” 24 Then king said – “I swear by God, the consuming fire that a single hair of your son’s head will not fall out.” 25 Later the king realized that it was his son. He forgave him and brought him again into his kingdom. In the same way, God, who is the consuming fire, says that Born Again will inherit the kingdom of God. CHAPTER 56 THOSE born of man’s will and come to the fellowship habitually to please others. 2 One may say – ‘The preaching of a particular preacher is great but others preaching is not great. 3-4 So, we will not come to the fellowship.’ All such men will de- vour themselves and they bec- ome the dust. Woe to him who pleases man but not God in the things of God. Salvation Through BORN AGAIN 109 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD Such one may be cursed by God. 5 The apostle Paul said about it – “But as we have been appro- ved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. 6 Even so we speak, not as plea- sing men but God, who tests our hearts 1 .” 7 II Beloved, don’t forget one thi- ng. In these last days, the musical sound that pleases the mind in our gospel meetings is reminding of the installation program of Nebuchadnezzar statue. Lucifer is a well talented Musician. He uses it for wrong things. 8 Today’s so called Christian mu- sic is not giving a place for Almig- hty God and His word. 9 Know that- those who like and delight in things, which pleases mind, will not enter the kingdom of God. 10 Because- the kingdom of God is not about music, singing and dancing. But it is being counted by the Lord as not impute sins (blameless), peace and joy of the Holy Spirit. 11 For him that in these things serve Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men 2 . 12 Such preachers take David as an example to grieve the Spirit of God by using the musi- cal instruments in a wrong way. 13 They jump like monkeys ac- cording to the beat of instrum- ents. They say that David danc- ed. So we should also dance in the spirit presence of God. 14 II ‘Woe to the evil preachers who don’t encourage the orde- rly music according to God’s will. 15 Many preachers encourage such music and songs which make the audience to jump and shout disorderly. 16 I write that such preachers should be a shamed. Because the Holy Spirit says through Isaiah that – “You who bear the vessels of God, 17 depart depart! And go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from the midst of her be clean 3 .” 18-19 Those preachers live with pride, selfishness and love of money. They are the lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. They preach by having a form of godliness but denying its Power. 1 3 1 Thes 2:4; 2 Rom 14:17,18; Isa 52:11.
