Salvation Through BORN AGAIN and let the dry land appear.” And it was so 1 . 2 Like David, we write a bless- ed word to all those who medit- ate on this. 3 Why did the Lord command us to be Born of the Spirit? 4 – The Law 2 says that the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 5 David said – “The voice of the God is over the waters 3 , 6 But the Lord said – “when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what authority He hears, and He will tell 4 you things to come” 7 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, 8 but now He commands all people everywhere to be Born of Water and Spirit by repenting and forsaking the dead works. 9-10 He doesn’t take any pleasure in anyone’s destruction except the wicked and Glory, honor and power to Him forever. Inheriting Heaven 11 II God, the consuming fire says that, “he who is courageous to enter God’s kingdom, will find 1 Gen 1:9; 2 Gen 1:3; 3 Ps 29:3; 130 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD New Birth like a sick men who came to the edge of the camp with courage and to get into the war field.” CHAPTER 67 HOW can we have assurance that our sins are forgiven? 2-3 ‘Many, who call themselves as Christians and preachers, ha- ve no assurance and proper co- nfirmation that their sins are forgiven. So they live a hopeless life in unbelief as quails. 4 We write this so that the reader may not be like them and not live in unbelief. 5 A parable –If you pass in your study, won’t you get the passed certificate? You will receive it. 6 The scripture preaches for our wisdom that we should have as- surance and confirmation that our sins are forgiven. 7 II We should know first that the living word testifies about it. 8-10 When we trying to repent for our sins (this repentance will not lead you to sorrow) accord- ing to the will of God 5 , we read scriptures with humility, Jesus will give any scripture and give a confirmation that He has for- 4 Jh 16:13; 5 2 Cor 7:10. 131 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN given our sins. The forgiven life is a blessed life. 11 ‘The scripture says that - they are called as the gods to whom God’s word came and the Scri- pture cannot be broken 1 . 12 It is written in another: ‘They shall all be taught by God 2 .’ 13 Don’t ever forget the fact that,the three witnesses testify about the forgiven of our sins, and God shall give the witness of our sins are forgiven.’ 14-15 That three witnesses: Spirit, Water and the Blood 3 and those three are one. 16 This word is written about the glorious Trinitarian God. 17 The Lord said-“I am one who testifies for Myself; My Father is also witness who sent Me 4 ,” Spi- rit also is giving witness.’ 18 Oh what a wonder? The Trin- itarian God Himself testifies that forgive sins which came from the first man. How amazing! How beautiful! Let God’s name be glo- rified forever and ever!” 19 The Word itself should give us the confirmation that our sins are forgiven. Don’t forget it. 20 II ‘Secondly, we understand that we also get the confirmation 1 Jh 10:34; 6 Isa 6:5-7; 2 Jh 6:45; 7 Neh 8:8. 3 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD through a small sign.’ 21 We don’t hesitate to say that this type of confirmation is only for those who not read the word of God. The Lord reveals to th- em that He forgave their sins either through a vision or a sign. 22 The Lord Himself gives the literate through such experiences for sometimes when the word is not available. 23 In other place, one it is said in vision – “Take away his filthy clothes 5 from him”- 24 Another said in other vision- “to touch the tongue with coal and forgave 6 his sins”. 25 II The other method – The Lord forgiveness shall applies those who hearing from His word to people who can’t read but hears and understand skilful, while others read. 26 Because – “They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving 7 the meaning so that the man and woman could understand what was being read.” 27 II Our conscience gives a strong testimony in this method that Lord forgives our sins and trespasses. Then our heart gets 1 Jh 5:7; 4 Jh 8:18; 5 Zech 3:3,4;
