Bible Question: 2 John: 1-21 Is this meaning of being born again and overcoming the world and taking Jesus Christ., father , and son, and Holy Ghost are three in the God Head...???? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Mae... Being "born again" is what we are talking about when we use the word regeneration (see post #151466). When Scripture speaks of those who are born again as "overcoming the world" it is not offering a definition. The phrase means a number of things. I'll spare you my attempt at a full explanation, since others have done a far better job than I could do! Read, for example, what Byrn MacPhail wrote on this topic. This is a short article, but very well done. http://www.reformedtheology.ca/1john5.htm In Him, Doc |
