    The document discusses being "born again" from a Christian perspective. It states that being born again involves allowing God's spirit to transform us from being self-centered to God-centered by trusting His will over our own. It references Bible verses from John describing being born again through water and spirit. Being born again means willingly entering God's destiny for our lives, not just a mindset or religion. The document also discusses how, from a metaphysical view, God created humans in His triune image to be His sacred children and have dominion over the earth. Finally, it shares a quote explaining how the Hebrew name for God, Elohim, implies His triune existence as three in one, just as humans

    GOD Talk Discussion 17

    by Reverend Robert Bart

    Born Again – Part 1

    The Faith which GOD Has Given to us, when exercised, establishes a
    Pleasing Relationship with Him. Continuous exercising of it brings us into a
    Communion with Him, causing us to become Sanctified, or Holy. Being
    “Born Again” is the extension of our Faith, in which we allow The SPIRIT
    Of GOD to Guide our actions, thereby effectuating a spiritual
    metamorphosis within us. In other words, we adopt an attitude whereby we
    allow GOD’s SPIRIT to Transform us from being self centered, to being
    GOD centered. We conclude that His Will for our lives should have pre-
    eminence over our own will. It is the conscious decision to trust Him with
    our destiny and with our security. In The Holy Bible, JESUS Teaches us:
    “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the
    kingdom of God.” (Jn 3:3) Also: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is
    born of water and 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.” (Jn 3:5, 6) Therefore, being “born again” is not a mindset or a choice
    of religion, it is our willful Entering In to the Destiny which Almighty GOD
    Has Purposed for us.
    Let’s take a step back and look at these concepts from a somewhat
    metaphysical point of view. If we conclude that Divine Creation is an axiom,
    it presupposes that GOD Had a Desire to Bring Forth beings like unto
    Himself (Themselves). This fact is documented in Scripture. (Gen 1:26)
    That is, we were Created in Their Image and Likeness (GOD Is A Triune
    Being), as Their Sacred Children, to be Sanctified by Their Presence, and to
    have dominion over the natural world. Consequently, we have children (in
    an intimate expression of Love), for the same reason. As it is GOD’s Desire
    to Nurture and Bless Their Creation, so it is our desire to provide these
    things for our children. (Lu 12:32; Eph 1:3-14; Php 2:12-13) Please, take a
    few moments to meditate on these truths, as time permits.
    Also, please consider this discourse by Dr. Edward DeVries:
    “God's very name implies His triune existence. The Hebrew name for God
    used in all known manuscripts is ELOHIM, so Genesis 1:1 could read, "In
    the beginning ELOHIM created the heaven and the earth." The word
    ELOHIM means three in one. The word ELOHIM has both a singular and a
    plural usage in Hebrew, uniquely; the two usages are always simultaneous.
    The word ELOHIM can never be used in the plural form without implying
    the singular and vice-versa. Note also, that all Hebrew letters have a numeric
    value; all Hebrew words also have value. ELOHIM is an interesting word in
    that it has two values, three and one. It is no wonder that when God,
    ELOHIM, said in Genesis 1:26, "And God said, Let us make man in our
    image, after our likeness," that He then created man to be a triune being. Just
    as God is composed of three, so is man. Man is composed of a body, a soul,
    and a spirit. We all know man to be one being, not three, in spite of his
    triune composition. The body is separate from the soul which is separate
    from the spirit; however they still make one man.”
