Discussion Quotes: okay if we are going to talk the deep mystery of the truth, which is the #earnest[ቀብድ፤ መያዣ] of our inheritance we are given in this life only earnest of the Spirit until the redemption of the purchased possession, Eph 1:14.is there is only one word in the Greek manuscripts to represent #begotten and #born. Numerous Scriptures tell us that we are given in this life only #earnest of the Spirit, only the ernest or downpayment of God’s Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13-14, 2Cor 5:5). Furthermore, The Lord Jesus told Necodemus that when one IS ACTUALLY “born again” he is like the wind (John 3:3-8). All Christians are not powerful and invisible as the wind is, in this life as Lord Jesus was for the Father giveth to the elder brother Jesus the Spirit without measure unto him. For all are predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, He is the firstborn among many brethren Rom 8:29. From these two truths, we can establish that we are “begotten” of God’s Spirit in this life, but we will not be “BORN of God’s Spirit” until the resurrection to immortality or the redemption of our body (I Cor. 15:42-54). “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body Rom 8:23.” Bro. Bini.
