Being Born again by Reading the Bible for 50 Days

Book excerpt: "Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, He cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). To be born again and enter into eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven is the reason and purpose that we believe in Jesus. Those who consider themselves righteous, those who claim to be just, will never be born again. Who then can be born again? They are those who realize themselves honestly that they are terrible sinners before the Law of God, saying, "O wretched man I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (Romans 7:24). Those who have no righteousness of their own can meet Jesus Christ "who came by water and blood" (1 John 5:6). In other words, only the poor in spirit receive "the remission of their sins" (Luke 1:77) by faith. However, the problem is that there are many modern-version of Pharisees among Christians today. They pretend to be holy even though their hearts are full of sin. They do not honestly admit that "I am a sinner who deserves to go to hell." "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). If you have any little bit of sin in your heart, you can never enter the Kingdom of God but fall into Hellfire. Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "Are we blind also?" Jesus answered to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore, your sin remains" (John 9:41). Those who sincerely admit that they are spiritually blind can meet the Gospel of truth and be born again by wearing the righteousness of God. I earnestly hope that all of you will acknowledge the Original Gospel and reach the glory of the children of God while you read the Bible for 50 days. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it" (Matthew 13:45-46). Once you've met the real thing, you've got to throw away all the imitations. When you encounter the Original Gospel likened to a pearl of great price, throw away all the "other gospels" you have believed so far. And hold fast the genuine Gospel with joy until you reach the Kingdom of Heaven.
