Born Again
Friend, the beginning of the born again stage in a human's life is one of surrender.
It's surrendering our will to God's.
There are many ways in which we come to Him and surrender.
We may have heard a sermon, we may have read through the Bible, we may have taken every chance in life only to feel empty.
The circumstances are as many as there are people.
God through His Son's Death, and by His Holy Spirit, is available to any soul no matter the circumstances, at all times, any day or hour.
He made a New Covenant with humankind because of His Love for His Son, Who has many Names or Titles. By His Pure and Holy Lamb, The Word, Who speaks things and they are so, The Holy Law which is in all things, was made whole for mankind, who had rejected Him.
Yes the silly toddlers had made a decision for themselves, and disobeyed The Father.
The outlaw Satan tempted the toddlers, beloved of God into desiring the fruit of which God had forbidden for them to partake. That wilful, proud, being disguised as a wise being enticed first the woman, for he knew Adam would not listen to him, but, because of Adam's love for the woman, he became a victim of the "scam " also.
On earth the flesh dies but in The Presence of God, our soul and Heavenly supernatural body is able to live eternally.
This is what the Gift is for the born again. Eternal Life.
