Thank you so much for that. We've been looking at Psalm 87. And I'm going to begin here,
then I'm gonna go over to John, the third chapter. Psalm 87,
in verses four, five, and six, The inspired writer of this psalm
is led to speak of those that God would bring into the fold
of salvation from the Gentiles. I know much of the Old Testament,
much of the church in the wilderness, as Stephen called it in Acts
7, much of the church in the Old Testament or in the wilderness
consisted of the Jewish people. But God here in Psalm 87, He
promises that there would come forth out of the pagan nations,
that is, out of the Gentiles, a people to be saved by the grace
of God through the doing and the dying of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and these would be born again of the Spirit. Look at verses
4, 5, and 6. He says, I will make mention
of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me. Behold Philistia
and Tyre with Ethiopia. This man, God's man, God's people,
was born there as the new birth. Don't think that in the Old Testament,
people were saved without the power and work of the Holy Spirit. They were not. I know in the
book of Acts, the second chapter, the Spirit of God was given in
the fullness of his power to Jews and Gentiles. But in the
Old Testament, people still had to be born again of God. They
had to hear the good news of Messiah's coming and of his death
of atonement by which God's anger was pacified, his justice was
satisfied, and sinners would be saved. So they had to be born
of God just like we have to be born of God. Look at verse 5. And of Zion it shall be said,
this and that man was born in her, and the highest himself
shall establish her. The Lord shall count, when he
writeth up the people, that this man was born there, and then
he adds this word, Selah. You think about that. In order
to be brought into the fold of salvation, in order to be recognized
as one of the children of God, you must be born, born of the
Spirit, born of God. And that's the subject that our
Lord addressed in John the third chapter with a man by the name
of Nicodemus. And that's why I asked Alan to
read this passage of scripture for us. So go back to John, the
third chapter, we'll talk about the new birth, the new birth
which is necessary, it is required. Now, as we think about the new
birth, another name is regeneration. This is all, regeneration is
an element in salvation. Salvation is a great big word. It's a magnificent word. It involves
the rescue of one who is in danger. It is the deliverance from sin, destruction, and every result
of that which is called sin. Salvation is made up of election. This heads the list. If you've
been brought to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, if you've
been brought to cast yourself upon Him with all of your sins,
with all your iniquities, with all your transgressions, you've
come to the Lord Jesus Christ and you've laid hold of Him because
He laid hold of you. went to Him in your need and
He met you out of His fullness. You went to Him with all of your
indebtedness and then He assured you, you have no indebtedness,
that's all been paid. You went to Him who chose you. Our Savior said to His disciples,
you didn't choose me, I chose you. And this is where salvation
began. It began with God's eternal choice
of a people to be saved to the praise of the glory of his grace. These elect people, chosen people,
were blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
in Christ. I'm not ashamed of the doctrine
of election. I'm glad to mention it as often
as I can. This is the very root of our
salvation. This is where it began. God chose us, not because of
anything He foresaw in us. He chose us because He loved
us. He purposed to save us. We were
chosen in Christ. You had no part in that. You are only a recipient of the
electing grace of God. It happened before the foundation
of the world. It happened before anybody existed
save God and the Trinity of His persons. It happened on account
of His own purpose of grace. He chose a people unto salvation. And then there's predestination. That's another element of salvation. predestination. Those whom God
chose into salvation, He predetermined, He determined ahead of time,
before time began, the destiny of all those that He chose in
Christ unto salvation. We're destined to everlasting
salvation. We're destined to everlasting
glory. We're destined to receive the
grace of God. We're destined to stand righteous
in the Lord Jesus Christ. We were destined to be washed
from our sins in the blood of the blessed Savior. predestinated
to be conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. We
were predestinated under the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ Himself. If you're a member of the family
of God, it's because God chose you in grace and He ordained
your destiny. Your destiny was to be one of
His children, to know Him, to be conformed to the image of
our Lord Jesus Christ. You had no part in predestination. And then there's that glorious
truth of redemption. That necessitated a Redeemer. And the Savior came to redeem
those chosen unto salvation, predestinated to be conformed
to the image of Christ, predestinated to be a member of His glorious
family, predestinated to be a member of Zion, and all of those were
to be redeemed by the Son of God, who stood in old eternity
as our surety. He stood good for us. He was
responsible for our salvation. And at the due time he came,
born of a woman, joining his deity to human flesh. Then after living a life of perfection
that showed him to be qualified to be the sacrifice for our sins,
he himself took on us by imputation all of the sins, all of the iniquities,
all of the transgressions of all of the elect of God, all
of those predestinated to be conformed to the image of Christ.
He came to save his people from their sins. He redeemed us at
an awful price. That being the price of his own
death. His blood was said by Peter to
be precious blood. Precious because of whose blood
it was. The Apostle Paul said in Acts
chapter 20, it was the blood of God. That's what he said. You were purchased by the blood
of God. You who are the children of the
Lord, who are true believers, think of what it costs to save
you. It costs the Son of God to leave
everlasting glory and to humble himself and be
made flesh not having our sin, of course,
but laying aside his glory, covering his deity with our humanity,
and living in this world, living a life whereby he was exposed
to all kinds of mistreatment and mockery and unbelief, and
persecution, and finally the enemies of God were successful
in crucifying Him, but in doing so, they fulfilled the eternal
purpose of God. Because we had to be redeemed.
Someone went out the door this morning and talked to me about,
they had heard a preacher who talked about their, In response
to their question, their question was to this preacher, do you
believe there's people in hell that God loved? He said yeah,
and he said they had their chance. And she corrected him. Let me
tell you something, there's nobody in hell that God loves, and there's
nobody in hell Christ died for. If there's anybody in hell, if
there's anybody suffering the offended justice of God, if there's
anybody suffering the vengeance of God against their soul forever
in the flames of hell, then if Christ paid their debt, there
is no justice there. There can't be any justice where
a debt has been paid and then somebody else has got to pay
it too. Well, that's foolish. Our Lord Jesus came to pay a
debt He didn't owe. Because we owed a debt we couldn't
pay. And He took the indebtedness
off of us. Actually, He took it in old eternity. He assumed our debt. He took on Him all of our sins,
and He answered to God for them. And that which God demanded was
the very life of His Son, because the soul that sinneth shall die.
And if our Lord Jesus Christ, and since our Lord Jesus Christ,
came in our stead, died in our place, redeemed us from the curse
of the law. If he came to do that, if he
came to save his people from their sins, then that which his
people would have suffered forever, he's gotta suffer. And he did. Redemption. Guess what? You didn't have anything to do
with that either. You didn't have anything to do with the
election. You didn't have anything to do with predestination. And
you didn't have anything to do with redemption. And then another element in salvation
is regeneration. The new birth. And you don't have anything to
do with that either. You had nothing to do with electing
grace. You had nothing to do with predestinating
grace. You had nothing to do with redeeming
grace. And you don't have anything to
do with regenerating grace or the new birth. That's a work
of God. You see, in this matter of salvation,
it is all of God. The work is His. He purposed
it, He will perfect it. And He will save all of His people. Actually, He has saved all of
His people. And when we're brought to conversion,
we're made gloriously aware of the fact that the Lord has saved
us from eternity past. The new birth. Years ago, it
became popular for people to say, I'm a born again Christian. Well, I got news for you, there
ain't no other kind. That's the only kind there is,
people who are born again. People who have experienced the
new birth, not people who have sought out the new birth, not
people who cooperated in the new birth, but people who were
born of God, born of God. This is what our Lord said to
Nicodemus. He said, you must be born again,
except you be born again. He said, you can't see the kingdom
of God. You can't understand the kingdom of God. God be born
again. And Nicodemus shows his ignorance
and said, well, must a man enter into his mother's womb and be
born again? What a fool. But you see, all
who are in sin, all who are dead in trespasses and sins are fools. They don't know any better. They have no life. They have
no spiritual understanding. They have no spiritual abilities. They're dead in trespasses and
in sins. Regeneration. It's more than
reformation. It's more than turning over a
new leaf. It's way yonder more than walking
an aisle and saying yes to Jesus. It's more than making a religious
decision. It is nothing less than the work
of God in the heart of a sinner by the power of the Holy Spirit
through the instrument of the word of the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ, death, burial, and resurrection. It's the good
seed. Being born again, Peter said
in 1 Peter 1. Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, was born the first time of corruptible seed. That's the
reason we're gonna die. We're gonna experience physical
death. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible. We're talking about seed, we're
talking about life that'll never die. This idea where you can
be saved today and lost tomorrow, that's foreign to the Word of
God. When our Lord brings life into
the soul, that soul is well alive forever because it's the work
of God. That which God does, He does
forever. Nobody can add anything to it.
Nobody can take anything away from it. Regeneration. I know this apostate generation
of religious folks that we hear about and we dwell among, they've
made the new birth be nothing more than a decision, an exercising
of the will, a saying of a prayer, a coming to the front. But that's not the new birth.
The new birth, listen, the new birth, it requires no motion
of your body. And the new birth requires no
motion of your will. The new birth needs and it fully
requires the work of God and requires nothing of the sinner. Nothing. There's no cooperation. There's no working with God. And that which our Lord said
to Nicodemus over 2,000 years ago stands true today. You must
be born again. Perhaps you made a profession
of faith years ago. Maybe you joined the church somewhere
or other. You decided, you decided you
needed to change. And so you went forward, I did.
I was sittin' on the second row where Faith's sittin' in another
church in Bassett, Virginia. And I was just a little fella.
And I decided I didn't want to go to hell. And the preacher gave an invitation after his message. He said, if
you don't want to go to hell, come forward and get born again.
And I went forward and I got born again, I thought. And he assured me, he said, you
believe Jesus came down here and lived and died and rose again? I said, I believe that. He said,
you just got born again. And he said, don't ever doubt
it and be faithful. And you need to be baptized and
join the church. I said, all right, put me down.
And I was just, what, six or seven years old. And I thought
that way for the longest of time. And I preached that way when
I got old enough. And I think I've told you this.
I was preaching in a furniture factory every Friday during lunch. And there was a black man who
listened to me preach. I preached free willism. I preached
decisionism. I preached believe on Jesus and
get born again. And after I finished preaching,
he rebuked me. He rebuked me. And I just thought
to myself, he's a kindly old man who's way past his prime. And he really doesn't know what
he's talking about, but I'll say, well, thank you for those
words. I thought, if it's the Lord's
will, I'd love to meet him in glory someday. But I went for a long time thinking
that I'd made my decision and that sealed it right there. And
then I found out I wasn't born again at all. I didn't know God. I didn't have the life of God
in my soul. the things of God I really did
not understand. And our Lord Jesus told Nicodemus,
you can't see, you can't see the kingdom of God. You can't
perceive, you can't understand spiritual things, Nicodemus,
because you're carnal. That's why you can't see what
I'm talking about. That's the reason you can't understand
the necessity of the new birth. These things are foreign to you
and they're foreign to most of the religious people in this
world. They just don't see, they don't
understand. And they can't understand because
the things of God cannot be understood by the carnal minded. What's gotta happen? Well, you
must be born again. That's what's gotta happen. The new birth is required. Now,
I'm gonna ask and answer four questions. First one, why must
you be born again? The new birth is required, so
why must you be born again? And there are many answers that
I could give to this from the word of God. But I'll tell you
this, from this passage of scripture, unless you're born again, you
can't understand anything spiritual. It just goes right over your
head. The natural man is without spiritual understanding. You
may be a very logical-minded person, you may be a very reasonable
person, rational, very educated person, but when it comes to
the things of God, we're all foolish and unlearned. and we're as unreasonable spiritually
as a madman is physically. It just doesn't ring true with
us. We just can't see. You see, the
natural man, in his mind and in his heart, he has no capacity
for spiritual understanding. You can read 1 Corinthians 2,
verse 14 on that. In fact, turn over to 1 Corinthians
2. Let me make good on this. 1 Corinthians 2. Look at verse 14. 1 Corinthians
2, 14. But the natural man, This is the sinner who is unregenerated,
who has not experienced the new birth. But the natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God. Well, what things does
the Spirit of God teach people? Well, He teaches us that we're
sinners, we're lost, we gotta be found, only the shepherd can
find us. We must be saved, only the Lord
can save us. There are a lot of things that
the natural man thinks he knows, but he can't know anything spiritual
unless God teaches him. The natural man receives not
the things of the Spirit of God. They're foolishness to him. Foolishness
to him. Now, he can receive in his intellect
various doctrines of the Word of God and see the rationale
of them, for instance, the necessity of election. And there are a
lot of people who say, yeah, I can see that. But they can't
really grasp the God of glory who chose people, and the Son
of God who redeemed people, and the Spirit of God who reveals
the truth to people. They just can't grasp that. It's
beyond their capability. And God has to give them life.
He says, neither can he know them, neither can he perceive
them. because they're spiritually discerned.
But verse 15, but he that is spiritual judgeth or understands
all things spiritual, that is all things that the Spirit of
God would have him to understand, yet he himself is judged of no
man. For who hath known the mind of
the Lord that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of
Christ. You who are born of God, evidenced by your faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, you may not have a grasp of all the doctrines
pertaining to salvation, but you know this, God did something
for you. It wasn't you, it wasn't me.
And you understand why Christ had to come. Why he had to die? Because the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God's eternal life through Jesus Christ the
Lord. And the Lord of glory had to do an operation of grace in
your heart. You understand that? Because
before you had no interest, and now you have an interest. before
you couldn't see the things of a spiritual nature. But now you see, now you know,
now you're beginning to comprehend and you say, this salvation must
be of God, because I believe different than I used to believe.
I feel different. I feel different about the Bible.
I see it's the Word of God. The Lord has done something for
me. I wasn't looking, but He found
me. I wasn't searching, but he taught me. I was lost, but he
came by his gospel, and he searched me out, and he found me, and
he gave me life, and now I believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You
see, the person who has been born of God, maybe a lot of things
he doesn't understand, but he will tell you this. I know God
saved me. God saved me. It wasn't me. I
tell you, it wasn't me. It was of the Lord. The new birth has to be, has
to be required, or it is required, because otherwise we can't understand
anything spiritual. And that's exactly what our Lord
Jesus is telling Nicodemus over here. Reason this man, this man,
he's an educated man. He knows a lot about the Bible.
You could ask him anything about the Old Testament. He'd come
up with an answer just like that. Ask him of any historical event.
Ask him what the Passover meant. Ask him what the Feast of Tabernacles
meant. Ask him about Noah and his ark
and go on and on through the Old Testament. He could give
you historical facts. History, history, history could
give you that. He knew it up one side and down
another, but he didn't know the God of the Bible. He didn't know that Christ Jesus
was pictured in all the types and sacrifices in the Old Testament. He didn't realize Noah's Ark's
picture of God's salvation in Christ. Talk about the Passover lamb
this morning, the Jewish Passover. You could ask Nicodemus about
the Passover and how much time you got. I can lecture you on
the Passover. but he didn't know God's Passover.
He didn't know Christ. Why must you be born again? Well,
let me tell you. He was born wrong the first time.
That's why he got to be born again. We're sinners. We're born sinners. Those sweet little babies, as
innocent as they look, and we hug them, And they're so sweet. And when mom's giving them a
bath, they smell good. Other times they don't smell
so good. You know that smell of a newborn or just a young
baby? They smell so good. And you love
to hug them. But they're little sinners. That's
what they are. They're little sinners. Born wrong the first time. David
said, in sin did my mother conceive me. I was born a sinner. Gotta be born again. Unless you're born again, you
can't see the depths of sin, because you see, sin, it goes
deeper than the outward act. There's the spirituality of the
law of God. The 10 commandments, thou shalt
not commit adultery. But a spiritual understanding
of the law of God is this, and our Lord said this in Matthew
chapter five, whoever looks on another to lust after them, you've
already broken that commandment. If you're angry with somebody
without a cause, you've already murdered them in your heart. People don't understand and don't
see the depths of the law of God, how far it searches us and
finds out sin right down to our very core. And it brings us,
the Spirit of God has to bring us to see we're guilty before
God. You can't see the condition of
your heart unless you're born again. The heart's deceitful
above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? That's
what Jeremiah said. And why must we be born again? Because we can't see the glory
of God in salvation until we're born again. Average person thinks, well,
salvation, well, that's deciding for Jesus. Do we have any real concept of
what it took to save us? We're just beginning to commence
and to get started understanding salvation. It took the full wisdom of God. It took the power of God. It
took the grace of God. Who else could design a salvation
whereby he would be true to all of his attributes and meet the
needs of sinners who hated him and their sins be punished? through
a perfect substitute, who else could come up with such a perfect
salvation but God Himself? We can't even comprehend the
mind of God in establishing salvation whereby He would stay true to
all of His attributes and condescend and save us. What does it take to save a soul? It took God the Father. It took
God the Son. It took God the Holy Spirit. What's it take to save a soul?
It took the eternal purpose of God. It took the incarnation of the
Son of God. It took Him satisfying divine
justice. What does it take to save a soul?
It takes the work of the Holy Spirit. I tell you, we're just beginning
to grasp the idea of what it took the infinite God to do to
bring about our salvation. It's not an easy thing. A fellow told me one time, salvation's
as easy as falling off a log. No, it's a whole lot more complicated
than that. It took the wisdom of God to
design this salvation. Why must we be born again? Because
you can't repent and you can't believe unless God causes you
to be born again. Tell you this, nobody's going
to glory unless they believe on Christ. And nobody's going
to believe on Christ unless they've been born of God. Unless you're born again, you
can't enter into the kingdom of God. That's what our Lord
Jesus told Nicodemus. Unless you're born again, you're
not going to be a part of Zion. Unless you're born again, you
don't have eternal life, because eternal life's to know God and
Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. You can't know God. You cannot
know God. You cannot know the Lord Jesus
Christ apart from the new birth. And you can't have everlasting
life without the new birth. You can never enter into the
worship and fellowship of the saints on earth, nor the saints
in heaven, apart from the new birth. And you'll never enter
into the presence of God to enjoy Christ forever and ever, unless
you're born of God, apart from the new birth. Well, what is
the new birth? Second question. Oh, I can't
explain to you the mystery of the new birth There are several
things that will help to identify the new birth. What is it? It's to be raised from spiritual
death to spiritual life. It's nothing less than a resurrection. And you hath he quickened who
were dead in trespasses and sins. Lazarus in the tomb. He can't come forth on his own.
He has no ability. The man's dead. His soul's in
glory. What's it gonna take for him,
for his body to live again? It's gonna take the voice of
God himself. The voice of him who is life. And he must say to Lazarus, to
that man specifically, Lazarus, come forth. Somebody said if
he didn't use the name of Lazarus, if he just said, dead, come forth,
said everybody in the cemetery would be raised. Well, I reckon
that that could be true. But I'll tell you this, when
the Lord comes and calls him and he calls you by name, you're
coming out of the tomb. And it won't be by your will. It'll be because of the voice
that raises the dead. Ezekiel's deserted infant in
Ezekiel chapter 16. Lord said, I pass by thee, and
I said, live. And that's what has to, the Lord's
gotta pass by you and say, live. It was the time of love. That's
what he said, it was the time of love. Lord said, I came to you. You
didn't come to me. I came to you. It's not the sinner coming to
the Lord. It's the Lord coming to the sinner
with life. And he doesn't ask you, do you
want to live? He just makes you live. And then you're glad you're living.
And evidence that by faith in Christ and repentance toward
God. Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones. What is the new birth? Is to
have Christ formed in you. I know that's true. Because you
see, he is life. And if he comes to visit you
in your heart, it is for certain that death is gonna release its
grip on you when life comes in. That's a whole lot more than
just making a decision. That's the work of God in you. It's to be made alive to the
things of God. And it's to be made a new creature
in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5. In other words, it's a creative
act of God. That's what it is. You didn't have anything to do
with that first creation, did you? No. And you don't have anything
to do with this new creation either. You'll see the results
of it because you'll see your lost condition. You'll flee to
Christ Jesus, the only Savior. Wash me! Cleanse me! Clothe me! But that's not how you get born
again. You're born again by the power of God. It's to be a new
creature, new creature. There's a new principle. There's
a new nature in you. Wasn't there before, but it's there now. It's the
life of God in the soul. That's what the new birth is.
It's nothing short of the life of God in the soul. Well, how
are men and women born again by the Spirit of God? It's obvious that the new birth
is foreign to the natural man. How are you born again? By the
sovereign, irresistible work of the Holy Spirit. Over here in verse 8, the Savior
said, the wind bloweth where it listeth, John 3.8. Thou hearest
the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth, so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
The irresistible, sovereign work of the Holy Spirit at the time
appointed by God in old eternity. See, all the details, all of
the elements of salvation, they were established before He ever
made the world. From the beginning of salvation
to the end of salvation, it's the eternal work of God. It's
according to His purpose of grace. And at the time appointed of
God, the Holy Spirit comes to the sinner who was chosen of
God in eternal election and predestinated to be conformed to the image
of Christ, comes to the sinner who's been redeemed by the blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of God takes the gospel
The gospel of Christ, the gospel that is illustrated by as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
son of man be lifted up that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life. And when that spirit of
God comes to us in saving power, we believe the gospel. And nobody's
gotta talk us into it. Nobody's going to twist our arms.
Nobody's going to say, now you believe, don't you? Don't you
believe? Nobody can force you. Nobody's
going to persuade you. Well, I don't know if these things
are true or not. You won't be talking like that.
You'll say, you know, this all falls in place now. I'm a horrible sinner. And I
don't deserve anything but just condemnation. But now I see Christ
is the Savior of lost peace, the Savior of sinners, and I'm
convinced He's the Savior I need. I need His blood to forgive me. I need His righteousness to clothe
me. Now I see. I see. I once was
lost, but now I'm found. I was blind, but now I see. and the Lord gave him his sight.
Regeneration's an invisible and irresistible work of the Holy
Spirit, and the instrument he uses is the truth of God. Of his own will, James says,
begat he us, and that's not the end of the sentence, with, with
the word of truth. That's the instrument. And I'll
tell you this, in preaching the gospel, I'm calling on dead men to arise. God who gives life, he enables
you to arise. Come forth, come forth from the
grave. Our Lord Jesus, he raised three
people from the dead as far as we know. Tabitha, little girl,
the widow's son, and Lazarus. And neither the little girl nor
the little boy nor Lazarus cooperated in their resurrection. They were
acted upon by an outside power. And that was the power of God
and the power of God flooded their soul. And I'll tell you,
when Christ and death meet, death says goodbye. I'm gone. He has to. He has to. Last question is, when is a sinner
born again? When you are brought to cast
your soul upon the Lord Jesus Christ as your only Savior, you can be sure you've been born
again. See, repentance toward God and
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, those are evidences. That's not
the way of regeneration. That's not the way of the new
birth. That's the evidences of the new birth. When you believe
on Christ, you're born again. You've been born again. Miss Christ, I'll guarantee you,
you haven't been born of God. Because the Holy Spirit will
reveal to your heart the glory of the Son of God and of his
amazing grace to you And in your heart, you'll say, this is the
Savior I must have. Oh, how I need the Lord Jesus
Christ. And the only power that can cause
you to think that way is the power of God that comes to you
in regenerating grace, the new birth. Our Lord said this, and I'll
leave this with you. Turn back to John 1. Turn back to John 1, verse 12. But as many as received him. I do, don't you? I receive him. I receive the Lord Jesus as he's
revealed in the word of God, a prophet, priest, and king.
Only Savior. The Lord, our righteousness.
I receive him. And I receive him willingly. But as many as received him,
to them gave he power, authority, to become the sons of God, even
