Salvation through Born Again 34 refore, we understand by this that there is also a spiritual body. 18 There is a mortal creation; therefore, we hope by this that there is also an immortal creation. 19We are created from dust. Th- erefore we hope that we are call- ed to receive the glory. 20 There is a physical and mortal world; therefore, we look for the upcoming immortal world. 21 We are groaning in this world with sin, curse and death. Ther- efore we hope by the Spirit that these will not be in the upcoming glorious world. And we look ea- gerly for it. 22 We weep in this world, there- fore, we hope with faith that death and sorrow will be passed away in the upcoming world as every tear is removed from our eyes. 23 The foundations of this world are shaking. Therefore we know by this that the foundations of upcoming world will not be sha- ken at all. 24 We understand that this wo- rld is filled with sin and curse. Th- erefore we hope that upcoming eternal world is filled with hol- iness. The fruit of sin and curse will not be there. The Salvation is the Gift of God 25 We know that this world is limited to man’s knowledge. We hope that the upcoming immortal world is beyond man’s knowl- edge. 26 We think that we die here in this world. Therefore we under- stand that death will be swall- owed there in the next world. 27 We work hard and labor here to eat food. But we hope that there will not be hunger and thirst in the upcoming glorious kingdom. 28 We change clothes and clean our bodies daily with water here but we hope that we will inherit God’s glory and live in the image of God and waiting in the upco- ming glorious kingdom, 29 We serve here as His serva- nts. But we will be ministered by the angels in the upcoming glorious world. 30 And we prepare ourselves to be seated on the thrones. 31 We hope that we see our be- loved Lord, who shed His holy blood to defeat death and offer glory and worship to Him for- ever more. 32 II Beloved in Christ, I warn you to intercede in Jesus name Salvation through Born Again 35 which gives answers to our pra- yers and confidence to intercede 33 And you should look with hope and ask according to the will of God. 34 Resurrection of the Lord Jesus is the source of our hope. 35 Be a man of peace by having the fruits of joy. Be a comforter with one mind. CHAPTER 5 THE Old Testament believers had the living hope because Christ resurrected from the dead. In the same way, we should have such hope. 3 We understand that we will rec- eive the witness by the Lord, the true witness, like the OT beli- evers. 4 The testimony, which is given by the Son of God, is with immo- rtal hope and it is pure. It leads us to the exceeding mercy of God. 5 II We will experience its fruit completely when the eternal glory is appeared since we have this courage and confidence. 6 Let us consecrate the Lord Jes- us Christ in our hearts and share the scriptural gospel with gentl- eness with everyone who asks for The Salvation is the Gift of God a reason. 7 Let us help our brothers who are appointed for the kingdom of God by explaining about being born again. 8 II Hope inspires us to be holy. 9 Therefore it became a reason to see Christ face to face. 10 So if anyone comes to you with being puffed up in the mor- tal knowledge and says to you that there is no life and resur- rection, 11 then he lacks foresight.
