We Are All Spiritually Stillborn

November 10

We are not born into God's kingdom at our physical birth. Human beings are born in a fallen nature, into a fallen world which is Satan's territory:

WHO IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD?

"But even if our gospel is veiled,
it is veiled to those who are perishing,
whose minds THE GOD OF THIS WORLD has blinded,
who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel
of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine on them."
2 Corinthians 4:4

Many are unaware that we are not born into God's kingdom. Many assume that if they were raised by Christians, then they're Christians. That is NOT true. Many believe they'll be saved if they're relatively "good." That is one of the biggest lies that Satan speaks into human hearts. None is good, no not one:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;”
Romans 3:10

The Scripture shows that before one is born again, he is DEAD in trespasses and sins. Ephesians 2 speaks to believers about their condition BEFORE they were born again:

"And you he made alive, who were DEAD
in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked
according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
among whom we ALL once conducted ourselves
in the lusts of our flesh…"
Ephesians 2:1-3

We aren't born "good." We are born in a FALLEN human nature. That is why Jesus said we MUST be born again:

"Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’"
John 3:7

vs 6:
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

Have you been born again?
