I just want to see how e-Sword copies the verses to here:
John 3:3 (HCSB) Jesus replied, "I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
I found I had to put bold font face on the Joh 3:3, add the N to John, and of course the read Letters. Somewhat less convenient, but it will work.
Speaking of that VERSE, I have found that SEVERAL Churches in America, DO NOT TEACH BORN AGAIN. I was Raised in one of those Churhes, and I did not know the Meaning of the expression BORN AGAIN, until I was almost 29 years old. Here is the SIMPLEST definition that I use a lot:
BORN AGAIN is when you, out of Sincere LOVE FOR HIM, by the power of the Holy Spirit, willingly surrender Control of your life to HIM, meaning it with your whole BEING, especially your HUMAN SPIRIT.
I back it up with this portion of SCRIPTURE:
Rom 10:9 (ESV) because, if you confess {not merely PROFESS it} with your mouth that Jesus is Lord {is NOW LORD of my Life} and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, {Genuine FAITH is of the HEART or Human Spirit, NOT with what lies between your ears.} and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
I was taught in an old fashioned German Lutheran Church that saying it with your mouth was a form of works righteousness. WRONG, IF IT CAME FROM THE HEART, IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Here is why:
1Co 12:3 (ESV) Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
See it? It is a work the HOLY SPIRIT does in our Hearts or Human Spirit.
