Unless He Is Born of Water and the Spirit
(Jn. 3:1~5)

1. Human beings made in God’s image and likeness
1) God created human beings in His image and likeness. He made them a little lower than Himself and allowed them to govern all things created by Him.
2) When you look at the reality of human beings today, this is not true. Human beings lost their status that God had given them due to committing sin that challenges the absolute sovereignty of God.

2. Human beings who lost their status and power
1) Because of sin, human beings were driven out from the Garden of Eden where nothing lacked and had to live in the land filled with thorns and thistles. They lost their status and power given by God.
2) Human beings who were born as the descendants of Adam cannot avoid death and the judgment after death. Unless the problems of sins are solved, the judgment cannot be avoided.

3. Human beings restored through the cross of Jesus
1) Human beings whose spirits died due to sin cannot be born again with their own strength. Jesus said, “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.”
2) The way to restore status and power that were degraded due to sin is in the cross of Jesus Christ. If we believe in Jesus who was hung on the cross, we will be born of the Spirit.
3) If we are born again by believing in Jesus, our original status and power will be restored, and we will be able to control the material world of the third dimension. Therefore, we who are born of the Holy Spirit can control the third dimensional world through our thoughts, dreams, faith and spoken words and bring changes and creation into our life.
4) We must think about the threefold blessing and dream about it. The word of God works through people who were created in God’s image and likeness. We must put the word of God in our thoughts. We must dream dreams through the word. We have faith and speak through the word. Then, the power of God will work through our thoughts, dreams, faith and spoken words.

Conclusion
By believing in Jesus, we have become new people who had their status and power given by God restored. Three disasters that were inherited as the descendants of Adam are gone, and we have become new people who have received the threefold blessing in Jesus Christ. Therefore, while we enjoy the fivefold gospel and threefold blessing through our thoughts, dreams, faith and spoken words, we must live as God’s agents who control and conquer circumstances.
