WHAT IS “BEING BORN AGAIN?" Everyone is concerned about their physical life, but few think about their life once they leave this earth! There are only two destinations once we die, heaven or hell. If we would avoid hell, we must do what Jesus said in John 3:7, “Ye must be born again.” When a person is born again, his body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own” (1 Cor 6:19)?" The Temple had three parts consisting of the outer court where external worship took place. The new temple, the body of believers, also has three parts. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Our body corresponds to the outer court of the Temple where the physical sacrifice is made. Romans 12:1-2 says to those who are “born again” to present their bodies as a living sacrifice. The soul is the mind, will, and emotion which corresponds to the inner court of the Temple. The soul directs the body. Since sin has affected our mind, will, and emotion, it leads the body in wrong behavior. This is why a “born again” person must "renew their mind" by the Word of God so we can discern God’s will. The spirit of man corresponds to the Holy of Holies. It is the means by which we communicate with God. Adam was created with a perfect body; therefore, he was healthy. Adam's soul was perfect; therefore, he was happy. His spirit was perfect; therefore, he was holy. Adam had communion with God because of his spirit. God’s Spirit gives life to the dead spirit of man. It is only then that man has the desire and ability to worship and commune with God. This is what salvation is all about. When a person is saved, nothing happens to the body. The body still looks the same. It will continue to age and will eventually die. Salvation of the body will take place at the rapture of the church when our Lord returns. Our desire at Word to You is to minister the Word of God both to our area and through the Internet into the whole world. Psalm 138:2 says, "For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."
