For the lost sheep(II) - Sermons on the Gospel of John(VII

The Work God Wants to Accomplish in Man What God wants to do is to make us into His children by making us born again through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We humans are born as Gods creations first, but if we receive the remission of sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, we are born again as the children of God. This means that, after the Lord came and remitted all our sins, we who were blind could now obtain our sight. People are born as men of the flesh and are born again if they believe in their hearts in Jesus Christs gospel of the water and the Spirit just as a larva becomes a cicada. And if they receive the remission of sins so that they are as white as snow, they become the righteous who are the children of God. In our everyday lives, we can see water larvae becoming dragonflies, larvae on the ground becoming cicadas, and maggots becoming flies. There is likewise a way for people to be born again after being born on this earth. You also can become one of Gods children by faith in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
