The proof of a soul’s rebirth is their changed life, and character. The soul that is born again is born of Elohim. Old things are passed away, all things are now new. The old man of sin is dead. The soul is not bound to the law of sin and death. The soul born of Elohim is a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old man of sin is dead. The soul is delivered, healed, made free. The soul’s thoughts, words, or speech; their walk; their character is totally changed. Their will is surrendered to the will of Elohim moment by moment each and every day. Christ mind is in them through the Holy Spirit who dwells in them.
The sinner that remains in sin choosing to live the life Elohim has given them the way they want; according to what they believe to be their own thoughts, wants, desires are not born again. They are not Christians because they speak the words, I believe Jesus is Lord; or because they are baptized in water; and because they read the Bible, and pray. The sinner who professes to believe but whose life is not changed, character is not changed, their life they do not daily surrender to the will of Elohim is simply one who is really living “saved by works”. They themselves seek to try to change, and are double minded: “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James 1:8 KJV
The Christian loves Elohim unto obedience by faith He has given them and He increases as the Christian lives righteousness by faith—this is truly the soul who believes in Christ our Lord and Savior, We have the faith of Yeshuah. We love the Word of Elohim. We hate the lies and love the truth. We love the brethren.
Our life’s goal is to know Life Eternal.
Read and meditate upon, study through the Psalms and Proverbs—Psalm 119; 1John 3:14, We love our enemies Matthew 5:43-45. We love all souls interceding in prayer to Elohim for their conversion for their salvation. Romans 10:1; 2Corinthians 5:14. We love the Lord, spiritual things of Him.
We do not love nor find the world’s ways enjoyable. We love that which edifies us in the Lord, that which we may use to teach and enlighten others in the Lord that they know Elohim and His Son who He sent: Life Eternal. Read, study, meditate upon 1John 2:15-17; 1John 5:4.
We delight in the Word of Elohim. We have His perfect hatred for sin—We hate evil. Read, meditate upon, study Psalm 97:10; Proverbs 8:13; Romans 12:9; Amos 5:15; Hebrews 1:9; Psalms 119:104; Psalm 119:163; Revelation 2:6
The principles of Elohim are very clear. There are many holy scriptures—multitude of counselors. We who are born of Elohim live His righteousness by Christ faith, His mind in us, through the power of the Holy Spirit in us. We have no righteousness of our own.
Be not deceived. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned.
“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”
1 John 2:26-29 KJV
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”
1 John 3:1-12 KJV
