The human nature with which we are born is evil, demonic and in rebellion against God,
it will not obey God and it cannot obey God and it cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
You cannot redeem it.
You cannot teach a person to be a child of God.
You can teach them the Bible but his NATURE is evil.
He needs a NEW NATURE and that is why Jesus said that unless a person is BORN AGAIN he
cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
We need a new nature, the NATURE of the SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, so that we can also
become SONS OF GOD.
Jesus gives the new nature to those who REPENT, who turn away, turn their back on their evil
nature and who embrace Him, who INVITE HIM into their lives, into their hearts.
He gives them the new birth, He gives them that new nature of the children of God and
then we need to go after that nature, follow that nature.
If we follow after our sinful nature then we must perish.
That is why once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and you have been born again, you
have received the new nature, you must be baptized in water to go and bury the old person
and then from that water you come as a new man and you follow after the new nature that
He has put in you.
But on top of that you need the SPIRIT OF CHRIST in you, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and that is why HE PROMISED the BAPTISM IN
the HOLY SPIRIT to those who OBEY HIM.
The Holy Spirit was given and poured out on the Day of Pentecost and all those who BELIEVE
IN JESUS and who OBEY HIM, who TURN AWAY FROM SIN are promised the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
But you need to WANT the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the infilling of the Spirit of Christ
to come and live in you.
If you do not have the Spirit of Christ you do not belong to Him.
Jesus sent us His Spirit, He puts OF His Spirit in us to GUIDE us into all truth, to TEACH
us.
It is Jesus with us, Jesus IN us.
If you don’t have Jesus IN you, then you do not belong to Him.
You need the infilling of the Holy Spirit and Christ living in you.
But if you go after your sinful nature and you SIN then you GRIEVE the Spirit of Christ,
you DENY Christ, you turn your back on Christ and if you do not bear good fruit, if you
do not obey Jesus, that Spirit that He has put inside of you, then you will get cut off.
He said: "Every branch in Me that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned."
So believers who do not live Holy and righteously and do not obey the Spirit of Christ that
He puts in them, they will get cut off, they will perish, they will end up in hell.
We will only enter the Kingdom of Heaven if we constantly go after the Holy Spirit that
He puts in us.
"Those who are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD they are the sons of God."
You need the Holy Spirit and you need to follow after the Holy Spirit, He will guide you into
all truth.
You don’t need other people to teach you, you don’t need books, you need JESUS, you
need the HOLY SPIRIT in you to guide you into all truth.
You don’t need fellowship with other people, you need JESUS CHRIST.
You don’t need a church, you need JESUS CHRIST living in you.
Your RELATIONSHIP with JESUS will determined whether you will enter into the narrow Gate
into the Kingdom of Heaven when you die.
You need to be born again of water and of the Spirit of God and you need to be filled
with the Holy Spirit who will guide you into all truth.
That is the Spirit of Christ that comes and lives in you so that you can have constant
relationship with Jesus through His Spirit living in you and you obeying and following
Him right until the end.
May Jesus bless you.
