Salvation through Born Again

may be realistic. Labor to convict
them that so they may confess
and live according to the word
of God.
18 My tears are flowing like a
river because people are reject-
ing the word of God and seeking
miracles. My heart is filled with
unceasing sorrow.
19 The lives, which are according
to the word of God, are blessed.
Let us rejoice by having the hea-
venly glory rather than wearing
the diminishing glory masks.
20 Honor God and His word.
Then you will be honored. Didn’t
He say that He will honor those
who honor Me?
21 Many are holding the Bible
and claim themselves as preach-
ers and Christians without know-
ing what it is to be Born Again.
22 They are wretched, pitiful,
poor, blind and naked and live
as lukewarm.
23 They are resisting the Spirit
of God without knowing the rea-
listic situation. Avoid such men.
24God appointed us before hand
according to His plan and purp-
ose. He did all things for us and
remembered us in Christ so that
we,who hope in Christ, may be

the first fruit.
25 Therefore be careful that you
may not fall down with pride.
God grants grace to the humble.
26 II In the past, we were wit-
hout fellowship with Christ and
without the covenant of promise
like the gentiles. We lived with-
out hope and destiny in life.
27 We lived away from God the
Father by being separated from
the eternal life. But when the
grace of Great God poured out
on us,we are brought to God by
Christ.
28 For this reason, all the saints,
who had the same hope, goes
forward for perfection.
29 Warn the saints to become
mature in the word of God so
that the Son of God may be ho-
nored through us who eagerly
hope for the eternal glory of Ch-
rist.
30 Wait for the eternal inherit-
ance which is preserved for us
in heaven according the word of
truth.
31-33 Be careful with watch,
that your work of God’s kingd-
om may hope, rest on the strong
foundation and the saints may
understand the God’s election,

and the church may know the
mystery of kingdom spoken
through you and the Spirit of
Christ.
34 Resurrection of the Lord
Jesus is the source of our hope.
35 Be perfect with joy. Be a com-
forter with humility. As a peace
maker live as a good witness of
Christ.
CHAPTER 3
TEACH the elders that the
saints are hope of glory to Christ
and the labor, patience and suffe-
rings of Christ on the cross sho-
uldn’t be made vain.
2 If anyone wants to be as a chu-
rch elder, first he should be for-
given by the Lord with the born
again experience. He should be
built on the strong foundation.
3 He should tell about his living
testimony with humility and he
should explain about his experi-
ence with the word of God.
4 Such one should hear, under-
stand and follow the voice of the
Lord. He should be hospitable
and respectable.
5 Be careful that he may not have
the desires for the worldly pro-
perties. The kingdom of God
spreads strongly and fruitful with
The Salvation is the Gift of God
stability through such men.
Encourage them so that they
may labor with disciples for the
expansion of God’s kingdom.
6 The testimony of his wife and
children should be shining like
the light of the stars.
7 Such one should understand
the will of God and he should
learn to rejoice in sufferings. He
should be able to tell his comm-
itments with a prepared mind.
8 He, who is an elder, shouldn’t
be like the mangrove chilly fish
but rather he should be gentle
and pleasing to the Lord.
9 Examine carefully so that they
may follow what God wrote ab-
out the elders through our belo-
ved brother Paul.
10 II I write these things about
the elected nobles so that saints,
who lost authority over the world
in first man, got the ruling priv-
ilege over the world again thro-
ugh Church.
11 Be careful that he, who is
appointed as noble in the living
church of God, should be Born
Again. He should be able to rule
with standard foundation and
bring glory to God.
12 He should be able to take
