Salvation through Born Again 40 God and His word. 21 We live according to the wor- d to do the truth in this world. 22 Remember Enoch, our fore- father.What did he get? Don’t we understand that God took him away to heaven because he was in deep communion and fellow- ship with God, is it? 23 Enoch walked with God and was blessed according to the will of God and he produced sons and daughters on this earth. 24Moreover, he was taken away to heaven without death to witn- ess against those who rejected the fellowship of God. 25 Noah had fellowship with God and saved his family. He was a witness to the world. Sho- uld not he, who says to be in love with God, have fellowship with Him? 26 As for us, we are loved by God greatly. You also love God and are continuing in His fell- owship to the extent where He would commend you. 27 If anyone has a desire to be in deep fellowship with God, re- mind such one to be washed by the blood of Christ to be Born Again and come to Him. The Salvation is the Gift of God 28 If anyone studies theology in the Bible college without Neolo- gy and being Born Again and preaches loudly without behav- ing according to the word, 29 and if he says I am in friend- ship with God, then know that such one is even worse than an unbeliever. He gave up his faith for the betrayal of friendship. 30 Don’t the word of God rem- ain in a man who claims to have fellowship with God? 31 Can the darkness have fell- owship with light? In the past we were like that. But God poured out His love on us and brought us to light. 32 Therefore do the works of day. Give courage to the distur- bed. Strengthen the weak. Exa- mine everything and take up what is good. Rejoice always. Pray unceasingly. Offer yoursel- ves as the living sacrifice and worship Him by prostrating before Him.

Salvation through Born Again 41 2 God had fellowship with him in Hebron and strengthened him so that he may go to the eternal Pro- mised Land that is heaven. 3 The fellowship of Isaac went to the altar and he was given the new life as if he was resurrected. 4 Let we labor in God’s word so that we may have God’s fellow- ship continuously like Abraham. 5The loving God sealed the word which is written by His Spirit. 6 The loving God changed Jacob as Israel and touched the nerve of his leg to give him the eternal fellowship. 7 God was with Joseph in the pagan country and granted him abundantly His fellowship and blessing. Therefore whatever he did was prospered. 8 In the same way, we too are determined in the beginning like our forefathers for God’s fello- wship and are gathered through His Son.Glory be to God forever and ever! 9 II In the beginning, God wants to join us in His fellowship in Christ and redeem His friends who are under the bondage of death. 10 The Lord also participated in The Salvation is the Gift of God flesh and blood and called them as His friends. He, who comes, comes without delay. Therefore watch out for those who go behind in being fellowship with the saints. 11Find out and bring those who are lost by the deceptions of the world to the old like a shepherd who finds and joins the lost she- ep with the fold. 12 Be careful to inspire and wa- rn one another with faith without stopping the fellowship. 13 The gracious God appeared to Moses in the burning bush to redeem Israel. He granted him the fellowship in opportunity to stand in His presence. 14 God went with His people and had fellowship with them. And He kept the tabernacle and all the things in it as symbolic for His fellowship with them.
