Overcoming – Faith and the New Birth
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3
It is only by virtue of the new birth that faith is imparted to men and women to “see” the Kingdom of God. Faith is how we see spiritual realities. Hebrews 11:1 states that faith is the substance, or as Greek scholars describe, “the down payment” or essence of things now hoped for in those who believe.
Hebrews declares faith to be the illuminator of truth.
