A MESSAGE FOR SUNDAY FEBRUARY 20TH 2011

Do You Know That You’ve Been Born Again?

Do you know that you’ve been born again?
Do you know that you’ve been born again?
Does the Spirit dwell within?
Bearing witness that you’ve been,
Cleansed from every sin and stain?

Are you ready if the Lord should come?
Or today your soul should claim?
Can you face eternal years..
Without doubt or dread or tears?
Do you know…without a shadow of a doubt, know that you’ve been born again?

MAY 1738

BLESSED ASSURANCE
“THE SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS”
THE DISAGREEMENT  - THE QUESTION
“DO YOU - CAN YOU - KNOW YOU’VE BEEN BORN AGAIN?”
“I DON’T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW”
John 3:1  And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
John 3:2  He came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles which you do unless God is with him.
John 3:3  Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.   

THE FEAR -
DEATH WITHOUT SALVATION
“ETERNITY - HEAVEN OR HELL”
Matthew 25:45  Then He shall answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.
Matthew 25:46  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.





THE ANSWER
“ARE YOU LED BY THE SPIRIT?”
Romans 8:13  For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.
Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:15  For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba, Father!

Does the Spirit dwell within?
Bearing witness that you’ve been,
Cleansed from every sin and stain?

“REDEEMED - HOW I LOVE TO PROCLAIM IT!!!!”
