Salvation Through BORN AGAIN
of sin.
6 Did he loose his salvation by
falling in sin? Many of you say
that he lost his salvation. If so,
symbolically –
7 Think that a gentile came to
the lost son and asked the name
of his father. What will the lost
son say? Did he say his father’s
name? He will say definitely!
8 In fact, what is he doing? He
fell in sin. Another word – if a
gentile came to the father of lost
son and ask about his son, what
will he answers?
9 Did he say that his son died?
He will not say like that. He will
say that his son went to a far
away country for business and
he will come back. Is it not so?
10 If the relation between the
father and son is broken, then the
relation between the glorious
Father (God) and Born Again
will be also broken.
11 What will happen to the pro-
digal son? He desired to satisfy
his hunger and shed his tears. He
longed to fill his stomach with the
pods that the pigs were eating.
But no one gave him anything.
12 But when he came to his sen-
ses, he returned to his loving fath-

The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD
er like Naomi who left Moab
and returned to her abundant
country.
13 The father ran to his son,
threw his arms around him and
kissed upon his neck. Didn’t
father say to his eldest son that
– your prodigal brother is found?
Is the prodigal son a son of the
swine’s owner? We know that
not at all.
14 Here we understand – does
not sheep quick enough to get
up out of the mud pit? What did
the prodigal son lose? We under-
stand that he lost the blessings
of which he attain through his
father, glory, honor, sandals and
rings, which he got through New
Birth.
15 One of you may irritate peo-
ple by twisting the scripture whi-
ch says by prophets - to work
out your salvation 1 with fear and
trembling. He is not able to enjo-
y the grace and joy of the Lord.
16 Be away from such preac-
hers and live with the peace of
God. Paul said regarding this –
“it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith, – and this
not from yourselves, it is the gift
of God.”

Salvation Through BORN AGAIN
17 It is not by works so that no
one can boast 1 .
18 What is the meaning of it? It
means – The salvation is not given
by works and it will not go away
by works.
19 Don’t ever forget that salva-
tion takes place when one is Born
Again from above. The salvation
is not received by works. There-
fore, it will not go away by works.
20 If so, shall we do the sinful
works which grieves the Spirit of
God? What shall we say then?
Shall we go on sinning so that
grace may increase?
21 By no means! We died to sin;
how can we live in it any longer 2 ?
22 II Beware, none of you may
be enough to see that he may not
lose the blessing which comes
through New Birth by sinning
against God.
23 Let us think about the fruits
of sin which came to David, ma-
ny other kings and preachers. Se-
rve the Lord with humility. Let us
offer ourselves as a living sacri-
fice. This is a reason for glory and
honor in the ministry.
24 We are called 3 so that we may
inherit a blessing but not to be the
losers of blessings. We are for-
1
Eph 2:9;
2
Rom 6:1, 2;
3
The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD
med to be as head but not to be
as tail.
25 We are appointed so that
we may give the lending but not
to receiving the lending. There-
fore, let us not go for sinning but
let us go forward with faith and
glory.
26 As we feel ashamed of past
sinful things what pagans choose
to do, then how can we partic-
ipate 4 again in them? We are of
the light.
27As our father says “Be holy 5 ,
because I am holy,” then how
can we turn to the past ignorant
life and evil desires?
The Human Politics
28-29 II I was studying the
Bible about God’s kingdom and
human kingdom, God’s author-
ity and devil’s power. Then the
Word of God, the consuming
fire, came to me and asked me
- “Man of God, why are you
reading the Bible?” Then I said
-
30 “Oh King who lives forever,
I am studying the Bible to under-
stand about God’s kingdom,
and his authority, man’s king-
dom and devil’s power. Then
the Word of God, the consuming
