1 Cor. 15:46—Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

JOHN 3:16

BORN AGAIN

John 3:3-6 — 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. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:5-6 — Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

born of the flesh fleshly birth born of the Spirit spiritual birth born of the water watery birth ?

WHY DO WE NEED A NEW BIRTH? Eph. 4:17-24 — This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart… …Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus… …That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

WHO IS THE OLD MAN? Col. 3:1-10 — If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory… …Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; For which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: Wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things… …But now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: Lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, And have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:

WHAT “DOINGS?” SIN

Col. 2:11-13 — In whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; Having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

Col. 2:11 — …in the putting off of the body of the flesh… Col. 2:13 — And you, being dead through your trespasses… Col. 3:5 — Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth… Col. 3:9 — …seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

DEATH RESURRECTION EVERLASTING LIFE NATURAL BODY SPIRITUAL BODY 1 Cor. 15:42-44 — So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body… 1 Cor. 15:55-57 — O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN
