Jesus answered:
'I tell you most solemnly,
unless a man is born from above,
he cannot see the kingdom of God'.
Nicodemus said, 'How can a grown man be born? Can he go back into his mother's womb and be born again?' Jesus replied:
I tell you most solemnly,
unless a man is born through water and the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God:
what is born of the flesh is flesh;
what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be surprised when I say:
you must be born from above. - John 3:3-7 -
Because a person has God as his Father he must realize that other believers are his 'father', 'mother', 'brothers' and 'sisters'. Do not speak harshly to a man older than yourself but advise him as you would your own father; treat the younger men as brothers and older women as you would your mother. Always treat young women with propriety as if they were sisters. - 1Tim. 5:1-2 -
The body of believers are known as the body of Christ which is the Church are also refers to as the household of God and the house of faith, hope and love.
So you are no longer aliens or foreign visitors; you are citizens like all the saints and part of God's household. You are part of a building that has the apostles and prophets for its foundations, and Christ Jesus himself for its main cornerstone. As every structure is aligned on him, all grow into one holy temple in the Lord; and you too, in him, are being built into a house where God lives, in the Spirit. - Eph. 2:19-22 -
We must never get tired of doing good because if we don't give up the struggle we shall get our harvest at the proper time. While we have the chance, we must do good to all and especially to our brothers in the faith. - Gal. 6:9-10 -
In addition, the concepts of SALVATION, ADOPTION and INHERITANCE are used to described the position of believers in God's family.
But when the appointed time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law and to enable us to be adopted as sons. The proof that you are sons is that God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts; the Spirit that cries, 'Abba, Father'. and it is this that makes you a son, you are not a slave anymore and God has made you son then he has made you heir. - Gal. 4:4-7 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
