Revelation (KJV)
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 
21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 
21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 
21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 

But to receive

John (KJV)
3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 

It's true, folks!  Even Jesus said, "Ye must be born again".
Read the following story and pay attention to what Jesus said
to Nicodemus.

John (KJV)
3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 
3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a
     teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be
     with him. 
3:3 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. 
3:4 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? 
3:5 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. 
3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 
3:8 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. 
3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 
3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these
     things? 
3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen;
     and ye receive not our witness. 
3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of
     heavenly things? 
3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the
     Son of man which is in heaven. 
3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 
3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
     in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
     him might be saved. 
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
     because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness
     rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds
     should be reproved. 
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they
     are wrought in God. 

But, you say, I don't understand the Bible! Awwww, my friend, do
you know why you do not understand the Bible?
It's because.........
 1 Corinthians (KJV)
2:14 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. 

You see, you cannot understand all  of the Word of God until you have the
Spirit of God and you cannot have the Spirit of God until you are born again.

How can you be born again?
First, you must confess to God that you are a sinner, that you sin
and you must ask him to forgive you.
Psalms (KJV)
32:5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 
32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
Second, you must confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and you
must believe in your heart that God has raised him
from the dead.
Romans (KJV)
10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 
10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 
10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 

You can be born again this very minute and it is my prayer, if you
are not a child of God, that you will read the message above and
become a child of God today.

Don't expect to know everything about God in an instant because
God expects his children to study his word and learn. 
II Tomothy (KJV)
2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed

God wants you to know, memorize his word so that you can become
a strong Christian and so you can defeat Satan when he comes 
to tempt you.
Ephesians (KJV)
6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 
6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 
6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 
6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 
6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 
6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 
6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 
6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 


Believe me folks, Satan will not be happy when you accept Jesus
as Lord and Savior!
What will he do? Well....
Number (1) He will cause you to doubt your salvation.
He will be the first to come to you and ask you if you are really 
saved or born again. In many cases, one minute after a new Christian has confessed his/her sins to God and ask him to forgive him/her, 
Satan will be there. 
 

The main thing you must learn to do is quote scripture to Satan.
That's one reason why you must memorize scripture.  Satan
hates the Word of God and he will eventually leave you if you
continue to quote scripture to him. But he will return so always 
be prepared.

Number (2) Before he leaves you, he will sift you!
What does "sift you" mean? Well, it means he will play with
your heart and mind. He will not only make you doubt your
salvation but he will even tell you that you are not saved! He will make
you feel confused. He will make you question God and Gods word.
Then he will step back and watch and laugh as your heart is
filled with fear.  Satan cares nothing about your heart or your
feelings.  He delights in seeing folks in pain. Yes, I am well 
acquainted with Satan and his tactics.  I have been sifted.  Satan 
knows my weaknesses and believe me, he also knows yours.
This is why you must "Put on the whole armour of God" so
that you can withstand "the wiles of the devil." This is why you
must KNOW and MEMORIZE the Word of God!

In the beginning you can say to Satan, something like, God said, 
if I confessed the Lord Jesus with my mouth and believed in my
heart that God raised him from the dead, I would be saved. I 
confess Jesus as Lord and Savior, again, Satan, and I believe that God raised him from the dead and God did save me.  But Satan will not give 
up easily, so you need to know Gods word to be able to stand your
ground as a Christian. Always remember that Satan is very good
at deceiving folks, he has had more than 2000 years to practice.  You are a
new Christian and Satan will do everything he can to keep you from
growing into a mature Christian.
