222A - Born Again to Conquer

In the Gospel of John, chapter three, we find the story of Nichodemas and his encounter with Jesus, Who tells him, ". . . Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (v. 3). Unless you are born of the Spirit, you will not enter Heaven; being born not of corruptible seed (human flesh), but of incorruptible seed - a born-again Spirit (1 Peter 1:23). Those who are born again are living in God's Kingdom now. But if you're not born again, you reside in Satan's kingdom. The book of 1st John is written so you might know that you are born again and have eternal life (1 John 5:13). It explains things we must do as a born-again believer. To most people being a Christian is just following a bunch of "do's and don't's," but once you're born again, those "do's and don't's" aren't seen as being all that unreasonable. How Jesus took on the temptations of Satan and proved Himself to be victorious is our example as ministers today. James, the half-brother of Jesus, tells us to be a doer of God's Word and not just a hearer of the Word (James 1:22-25). In this message, I use Scripture to present ten things we must do to live effectively as born-again Christians.
