Bible Note: Andes, you are right, Job was not "born again". He was saved by faith (as were all OT saints), but he was not born again as we are. Born again, Jesus said, is born of the Spirit of God. God creates a new human spirit in the NT believer and indwells that spirit by His Holy Spirit - John 3 - Spirit gives birth to spirit. Job, while being saved by faith and "counted as righteous" was never regenerated by God's Holy Spirit. Because of sin, God did not dwell IN the OT believer. Because sins have been "taken away" by the Lamb of God, He does now dwell in the NT believer. McGracer |
