Born Again.. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven; Matthew 6.10) The whole life of Christ on earth was lived for the purpose of manifesting the will of God on earth as it is in heaven.. Said Christ... Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter the KiNGDOM OF God. that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. John 3: 3-6 Christ dose not actknowldge any caste, color, or grade as necessary to become a subject of His Kingdom. Admittance to His kindom dose not depend upon wealth or a Superior herdity; but those who born of the spirit are the subjects of His kingdom. Spiritual character is that which will be recognized by Christ . His kingdom is not of this world His subjects are those who are partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the crruption that is in the world through lust. And this grace is given them of God. Christ dose not find His subjects fitted for His kigdom but he Qualfies them by His divine power, those who have been dead in trespasses and sin are quickened to Spritual ife, the faculties which God has given them for holy purposes are refined, pruefied and exalted and they led to form characters after the divine similtude. Though they have misapplied their talents and made them serve sin, though Christ has been to them a stone of stumbing and a rock of offence because they stumble at the word being disobedient yet by the drawing of His love they are led at last to the parth of duty. Christ said I have come that they might have ife and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10.10) Christ draws them to Himself by an unseen power; He is the light of life and He imbues them with His own Spirit , as they are drawn into the spiritual atmosphere they see that they have made the sport of satans temptation and they have been Under His dominion but they break the yoke of fleshly lust, and refuse to be the servant of sin, satan strives to hold them he assails with various temptation, but the Spirit works to renew them after the image of Him who created them. (Review and herald Mrch 26. 1895)
