Each of us have so much to be thankful for because of the first birth, we can give honor to the parents who brought this to be. Then the second birth will be an easy transition, for the LORD said: Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn "'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
So this new birth is about the Spirit of GOD, living within you. So what about the new man formed out of what is here. As it is written: So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: "The first man The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. So this birth is far better than the first. It is the total picture with promise. Amen
