A CHANGE OF APPETITE 3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” John 3:3-4

A CHANGE OF APPETITE 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. 7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ John 3:5-7

A CHANGE OF APPETITE For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

A CHANGE OF APPETITE But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to Him through the blood of Christ. Eph. 2:13

anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. A CHANGE OF APPETITE Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! 2 Cor. 5:17 (MSSG.)

A CHANGE OF APPETITE Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. 2 Cor. 5:17 (AMP)

A CHANGE OF APPETITE For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. Phil. 2:13

A CHANGE OF APPETITE I. A HUNGER TO BE FOLLOW CHRIST (Acts 2:39) Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

A CHANGE OF APPETITE As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?” Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” Acts 8:35-36

A CHANGE OF APPETITE And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. Acts 8:37

A CHANGE OF APPETITE II. A HUNGER FOR THE WORD (1 Peter 2:2-3) Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.

A CHANGE OF APPETITE For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 1 Peter 1:23

A CHANGE OF APPETITE How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word. I have tried hard to find you— don’t let me wander from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Ps. 119:9-11

A CHANGE OF APPETITE “…that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” Eph. 5:26-27

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Ps. 119:105 A CHANGE OF APPETITE Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Ps. 119:105

A CHANGE OF APPETITE “…And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God Eph. 6:17

A CHANGE OF APPETITE III. A HUNGER FOR FELLOWHIP (1 John 3:14) If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead.

A CHANGE OF APPETITE All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), to prayer. Acts 2:42

A CHANGE OF APPETITE And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25
