The New Birth Series 1-10

This complete ten-part essay series examines what the King James Bible means by the new birth and why Jesus Christ declared, “Ye must be born again.” Beginning with the difference between natural and spiritual birth, the study explains fallen man’s spiritual death in Adam, God’s quickening work, the incorruptible seed of the word, regeneration by the Holy Ghost, the believer’s new position in Christ, the conflict between the old and new natures, entrance into the family of God, assurance of sonship, and the permanent consequences of being born of God. It carefully distinguishes regeneration from water baptism, moral reformation, church membership, religious ancestry, emotional decision-making, Christian imitation, sanctification, and service. Readers will understand why salvation is not the repair of Adam’s fallen nature but a divine impartation of life, how the believer becomes a new creature in Christ, where biblical assurance rests, and why a child of God may lose fellowship or reward without losing the eternal relationship established by the new birth.
