Regeneration

Regeneration : " Jhn.3:3 " In reply Jesus Declared, " I will tell you the truth, No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."In John 3:1-8 Jesus discusses one of the fundamental doctrines of our Christian faith: Regeneration Titus 3:5, or a spiritual birth. Without the new birth one cannot see the kingdom of God,... ie., recieves eternal life and salvation only through Jesus Christ. (1.) Regeneration is a re-creating and transform of the person (Rom. 12:2; Eph.4:23,24), by God the Holy Spirit (Jhn.3:6;Tit.3:5). Through this process eternal, life from God himself is imparted to the believer's heart (Jhn. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 5:11). And He or She becomes a child of God ( John 1:12; Rom.8:16 ; 2 Peter 1:4; Jhn.5:11). And a brand New person (2 Cor.5:17; Col.3:9,10).He or She is No longer conforms to this world ( Rom. 1:2) but now is " created to be like God is True Righteousness and Holiness ( Eph.4:24). Regeneration is very necessary because apart from Jesus Christ, all people, in their inherent natures, are sinners, incapable of obeying and pleasing God ( Ps.51:5; Jer.17:9;Rom.8:7,8; 1 Cor.2:14; Eph.2:3). Regeneration comes to those whom repents of all of their sins, turns to God ( Matt.3:2), and put thier faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Jhn.1:12). Rengeration involves a transsition from the old life of sin to a new life of Obedience to Jesus Christ ( 2 Cor.5:17; Gal.6:15; Eph.4:23,24; Col. 3:10). Those who are truly born again, are set free from sin's bondage ( Jhn.8:36; Rom.6:14-23) and recieve a spiritual desire and dispostion to obey God and then follow the leading of the Holy Spirit ( Rom.8:13,14). They live righteous lives ( 1 John 2:15,16). Those whom are born of God cannot make a sin a habitual practice in their own lives ( 1 Jhn. 3:9). They cannot remain born again without a sincere desire and victorious endeavor to please God and to advoid evil ( 1 Jhn.1:5-7). This is accomplished only through grace given to believers by Jesus Christ ( 1 Jhn.2:3-11,15-17,24-29;3:6-24;4:7,8,20;5:1), through a sustained relationship with Jesus Christ (Jhn.5:4) and through dependence on the Holy Spirit (Rom.8:2-14). Those whom choose to live immorality and then follow the world's ways, No matter what they confess with their lips, demonstrates that they still are unregerated children of Satan ( 1Jhn. 3:6-10). Just as 1 can be born again of the Holy Spirit by recieving God, he or she can also extinuish that the godly life by ungodly choices and very unrighteous living, and therefore die spiritually. Our Scriptures affirms," If You live according to the sinful nature, You will die" Rom.8:13). This sin and the refusal to follow the Holy Spirit extinguish the life of God, in the believers soul and cause spiritual death and exclusion from God's kingdom ( Matt.12:31,32; 1 Cor.6:9,10 ; Gal.5:19-21; Heb.6:4-6; 1Jhn.5:16). The new birth cannot be equated with physical birth, for God's relationship with the believer is a matter of spirit rather than flesh ( Jhn.3:6). Therefore, while the physical tie of the Father and child can never be annulled, the Father and child relationship that God desires us is voluntary and not indissoluble during that probationary time on earth ( Rom. 8:13). That relationship remains conditional on our faith in Jesus Christ through - out our earthly life of existence, a faith demonstrated, a faith by lives of sincere obedience and love ( Rom.8:12-14; 2Ti.2:12).

Biblical Christians are by definition in a predicament. Christians must live in this world, but they are not of this world. As the Father sent Christ into this world to minister, so he sends believers to be ministers in the world (Jn 17:14-18).

Titus 2:1--3:8 is concerned with living in this world. The previous passage stresses engagement in the world, by enforcing Christian respectability in a way that shows sensitivity to accepted social rules and relationships. At this point the question of the Christian's general attitude toward all people and political institutions is raised. What is the Christian's obligation in relation to the world--that is, to its unbelieving inhabitants and its political structure? The early church had to deal with this question (1) because it was compelled by Christ's missionary mandate to reach the world with the gospel, a task that requires interaction, and (2) because the political system was generally opposed to the exclusive claims of Christianity.

What Paul has to say in Titus 3 is not new, but reflects agreement with both his own earlier thinking and that of 1 Peter 2:13-17. The instruction in 3:1-8 divides into three parts: verses 1-2 give the instructions; verses 3-7 give the theological foundation for the behavior that is prescribed; and verse 8 adds a missionary motive.
