The human spirit must be born again by the Spirit of Christ. 

John 3:5

“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 

Being born of water refers to the birth of the human being and being born of the Spirit refers to coming to God through Jesus Christ. The human spirit must be born again by the Spirit of Christ through the remission of sin. That is the only way to enter the Kingdom of God

The thing which has power over physiology has no need for the human spirit nor for the Spirit of Christ. There is no way for them to enter the Kingdom of God. It expects people to solely rely on its ability to form what they feel, think, speak, and do. In the process, it hardens the human spirit by coming against human sentimentality and the Spirit of Christ. It expects people to allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them. Needless to say, it is hostile to Gospel of Christ and builds a wall between the human spirit and the Spirit of Christ. As it lives and speaks through people, they are conformed to their place in life, their mark in life is set in place. People are being groomed to the mark of the beast.

As stated in Revelation 12, today’s world is driving to extinction the births born of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. They are killing the born-again experience that comes by being born of water and the Spirit.

Old Nicodemus went calling
To see my Lord one night,
“Master, something’s wrong with me
My heart’s not feeling right.”
“You’ll never change that feeling, my son”
The Master did explain
You’ll only know the answer
When you’ve been born again.

There ain’t no substitute,
Salvation is your only route
If you wish to pass the gate
You must be born again.
Your ticket, you must buy
No place for your soul to hide.
You’ll be lost if you wait outside.
You must be born again
(Church Hymn)

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
