And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people
from their sins. (Mat 1:21)
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. (Jhn 3:3)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth
and abideth for ever. (1Pe 1:23)
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of
the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Rom
3:11-12)
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up
at the last day. (Jhn 6:44)
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on
whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of
God that sheweth mercy. (Rom 9:15-16)
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. (Rom 9:13)
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of
God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) (Rom 9:12)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in
the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to
the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath
purposed in himself: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye
may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to
the working of his mighty power (Ephesians 1)
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God. (Jhn 1:12-13)
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the
good pleasure of his will, (Eph 1:5)
We love him, because he first loved us. (1Jo 4:19)
Got God?
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth
his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of
one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and
said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou
believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he
said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this
world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some
of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore
your sin remaineth. (John 9:31-41)
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13)
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is
old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so
is every one that is born of the Spirit. (John 3:3-8)
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But
Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are
possible. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed
thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye
which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his
glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that
hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that
are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. (Matthew 19:25-30)
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not
enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my
name receiveth me. (Matthew 18:3-5)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth
and abideth for ever. (1 Peter 1:23)
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false
prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye
have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little
children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We
are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know
we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God,
but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved
us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him,
and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. (1 John)
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by
the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:5-7)
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do
his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
(John 7:16-17)
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth
in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and
bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that
biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 1:9-11)
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no
light in them. (Isaiah 8:20)
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of
light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. (Luke 11:34)
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are
chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:31-32)
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are
ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much
more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set
them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is
not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? (1
Corinthians 6:2-5)
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely
given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man
receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet
he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct
him? but we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:10-16)
Are we not saved just like the saints in the
bible? Is not that our example? how did we
let man convince us that we just have to say
a simple prayer and Christ is in our hearts?
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the
last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:15-16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my
name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world
hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would
love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you. John 15:16-19
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:27-28
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow
me. John 1:43 (Jesus chose Philip)
Jesus Chooses Levi
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of
custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. Luke 5:27-28
Jesus Chooses Paul
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a
light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said,
Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it
shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless,
hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were
opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he
was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple at
Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I
am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight,
and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, And
hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might
receive his sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil
he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind
all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto
me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him
how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias went his way, and entered into
the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared
unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be
filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he
received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. Acts 9:3-18
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained
mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Revelation 17:14
