Need To Be Born Of The Spirit,

In scripture, the Spirit and the flesh are very different.
Jesus explained to Nicodemus that he has to be born
again into the Spirit. This meaning we are all started
in being born of the flesh. What Jesus meant by that
is that the flesh was the old law under which we were
under the guardian of Abraham. So in being born again,
we are now under the Spirit. Flesh begets flesh and
Spirit begets Spirit. The flesh and the Spirit can not
coexist within us. It is either one or the other. Paul says
that once we are born of the Spirit, we are a new creation.
We are now in the Spirit if we have surrendered to God.
New creation is the Spirit. Christ is within us and we are
in Him. So if for example someone says I was back
sliding, it means that person had never surrendered to
God. Through scripture we are assured that once we are
in the Spirit, we cannot then fall away from the Spirit. We
are now forever in the heart of God. So once we are in
the heart of God, scripture says God will not let anything
snatch us away

Heaven and earth are full of God's glory. We need only to
reach out and embrace it.

2 Corinthians 5:16-20

16Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
