You must be born again John 3:1-10 Part #2

Mount carmel bible college 's Podcast

· This we call the doctrine of regeneration.

What does it mean?

It is simply a term that describes the necessity that a person receive a new birth, a new life, a new nature, a new disposition, a new character, a new mind from God and that person makes no contribution to that.

· Spiritual birth is the second work of God in salvation, if you want to sort of split them out.

The first work of God was election when He wrote our names down in the Lamb’s Book of Life, chose us before the foundation of the world and predestined us to become His children.

That was the first act of God.

The second is to regenerate us.

The work of election took place in eternity past; the work of regeneration takes place in time present.

Now to understand the doctrine of regeneration is to understand the essence of salvation as a work of God.

And that’s the point here.

This analogy is very instructive, very simple, very basic; really should not be misunderstood at all.

· To enter the kingdom of God, whatever it is you may have accomplished morally, religiously, ritually, ceremonially in terms of human goodness is immaterial because you can’t contribute anything to your birth spiritually, any more than you contributed to your birth physically.

Now all of this comes out in this discussion between Jesus and Nicodemus.
