The New Birth: A Must For
Every Man

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again
(John 3:7).




Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God.” All men sinned in Adam
and came legally under Satan’s dominion. How did this
happen? Romans 6:16 says, “Know ye not, that to whom ye

yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom
ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto
righteousness?” Adam obeyed Satan and became his servant;
he submitted his authority to Satan. That’s the authority Satan
uses today to oppress and keep man in bondage.
To be free from Satan’s dominion, man has to be born
again, and become a new creature. This new creation is made
possible by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible calls
Him the first begotten of the dead (Revelation 1:5). He’s the
first to rise from spiritual death, and all those who are born
again have also come out of spiritual death.
This is why we preach the Gospel, so that men may
know they don’t have to be in bondage to Satan anymore.
They don’t have to be cut off or alienated from the life of
God. Consider the description of those who aren’t born again
in Ephesians 2:12: they’re “...aliens from the commonwealth
of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world.”
How could anyone live without God? How could
anyone live in such utter darkness and blindness? Nothing
could be more deplorable and hopelessly terrible! It’s the
reason Jesus said, “Marvel not that I said…Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). When you’re born again, you’re at once
transferred from the domain of darkness into the kingdom

of God’s dear Son. You’re immediately separated from death
unto life, and you’ll never perish (John 3:16).
Failure, sickness, defeat, poverty and everything that’s
of darkness aren’t a part of your life now that you’re born
again: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).



CONFESSION
I believe that God raised up Jesus
from the dead, and boldly affirm
the Lordship of Jesus over my life.
Therefore, I’m a partaker of the
divine nature, and I live the life
of glory, righteousness, success,
health, prosperity and victory in
Christ. Hallelujah!
