CHRISTIAN RE-BIRTH
to KNOW HIM MORE and to MAKE HIM KNOWN
Jesus said: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6
All Christians are born of flesh and Spirit. In God's time, God gives re-birth to the silent Spirit, dwelling within us, for His Divine purpose. The Spirit that stays silent in the flesh is given new life by God Himself, for His glory. The Spiritually re-born Christians are called born-again Christians. The term CHRISTIAN RE-BIRTH is also known as SPIRITUAL RE-BIRTH. Let's be 100% sure of our re-birth. The term spiritual re-birth is very confusing to those who are not spiritually re-born. May God lead all of us with REMARKABLE PURPOSE®, out of this confusion. May our LORD touch each one of us to add glory to His glorious name. REMARKABLE PURPOSE® believes Christian re-birth to be very special, distinct, personal, inexpressible regeneration of one's soul. God breathed His breath into man and he became a living soul (KJV) Genesis 2:7. Christian re-birth is the re-birth of this living soul from a passive to an active mode. Every Christian needs Christian re-birth. Let us ask for spiritual re-birth until we all get it. I personally know 2 sure ways of spiritual re-birth - one through prayers Luke 11:13, and the other through the Word of God 1 Peter 1:23. To be sure, let us all do both - the PRAYERS and the WORD. May God do this in each one of us so that we may align our purpose with His purpose.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3

Live the New Life:
1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
5 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6 Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.
7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.
8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
11 In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
20 Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord.
23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
24 Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
25 But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God (1John 5:1)
