ONES BELIEVING ARE BEGOTTEN AGAIN
1 Peter 1:23 Being born
again [anagennaw, not gennaw anwqen born from above], not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God (incorruptible seed that was sown), which liveth and abideth for ever.
ONES BELIEVING HAVE A LIVING HOPE
1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God … according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again [anagennaw, not gennaw
anwqen born from
above] unto a lively hope by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To [for] an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away, reserved in
heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through
faith …
Kept by hope, substance of faith
THIS BIRTH IS
FOUND IN 1 PETER 1:3, 23
John 1:12-13 … to them that believe on
his name:
13 Which
were born … of God.
