Introduction

 

Something supernatural must happen to each and every one of us. We must be spiritually born with the Holy Spirit inside of us. In this book I am going to show you the biblical way of salvation. For many Christians, their life long goal is to become more like Christ. However to live life the way God wants us to is impossible without the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit. This means that good works, self improvement and self effort is useless with regard to receiving salvation. Firstly there must be a hunger and thirst for righteousness and a godly sorrow that would lead to confession of sins which would lead to repentance and receiving Jesus as Savior which result in the new birth and transformation. But the wonderful journey of salvation does not end after being set free and born again in the Spirit; this is only the beginning of Faith. The new born believer will be crossing the stormy sea in a boat with Jesus and will also be baptized with the Holy Spirit. The mature disciple will then put on the full armor of God and be able to do the same things Jesus did.

John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

If you want to become like Christ, the place to begin is self-denial. This old flesh of ours is born with selfishness and a sin nature. We are not meant to rule ourselves.

The only way we can experience our full potential in Christ is by inner transformation, that is, the new birth within. The term “new birth” or being “born again” is preached in many other terms like transformation, conversion, change of mind, renewal, surrender, the turning point ect. It is impossible to develop a godly character and behavior without the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence. The Holy Spirit wants to lead us into obedience to God, but our flesh desires its own way (Gal. 5:17) God promises that if we’ll walk by the Spirit, letting Him lead the way, we won’t carry out the desires of the flesh (Gal. 5:16).

Firstly, I want to introduce the following names in Hebrew, God’s Holy language:

Yehoshua/Yeshua(abbreviation) that is Jesus, the name of our Lord and two or three other Israelites such as Joshua and Isaiah. The original name of Joshua was Hoshea ( img1.png) meaning salvation/deliverance), which was changed by Moses into Jehoshua ( ֹושעfiיְ, Jehovah is his salvation) Also the Israelite name Isaiah/Jesaiah ( img2.png , meaning deliverance of Jehovah

Jehovah is translated as God or Lord (Hebrew = filfiי YHWH, meaning I will exist or I shall be (prophetically refer to Jesus LITTERALY “HAND-BEHOLD-NAIL-BEHOLD” in original ancient Hebrew pictograph letters)

Messiah Is translated as Christ (meaning anointed, a translation of the Hebrew word img3.png)
