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?
