e an effort to unfold the mystery of what it means to be spiritually born? As we know, physical birth leads to death. We are born, we grow, we get old and ultimately we die; it's an irrevocable process. No matter what we do, we can not simply stop it from happening. Our Natural death is not a result of an evolutionary process, it is a result of our sin against God. There was a time when two human beings ( Male & Female ) were created in paradise and they were pure and obedient to God. At one point of their existence in paradise, Satan tempted these two pure humans , they were ultimately induced by Satan to disobey God. God is Holy , it means he CAN NOT tolerate sin / unholiness in heaven. Hence, God abandoned them and gave them over to their depraved minds, they were basically escorted out of heaven. That is why we die physically. The drama doesn't end there, our spirits will appear before God for the ultimate judgement. Remember, we were born physically and we die ...all of our efforts, hard works, going to church, going to the Mosque would not be good enough to compensate for God's wrath. God sees our filthy hearts. The cosmetically superficial things that we do such as fasting, giving charity, pretending that we are loving can not masquerade the depth of our sin or wickedness. Therefore, we need to be spiritually born again; meaning to be transformed by God's grace. In essence, God is the Only One who can grant us a regenerate heart so we can see the depth of His holiness . His redemptive Plan for the entire humanity comes through His Holy and Righteous son Jesus Christ so whoever believes in Him shall not perish but live abundantly and eternally. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies" John 11:25
Here is another version of it, but the meaning is the same: "Yeshua said to her, “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Resurrection and The Life; whoever trusts in me, even if he dies, he shall live.” John 11:25
The world can not understand this because they are not invited into the light by the Holy Spirit. You can not see God's mysteries, holiness, and justice unless God opens up the eyes of your heart.
As always, Love you all unconditionally!
