BELIEVING UNTO LIFE.

1. How are all men born by nature? "Born of the flesh;" subject to death. John 3: 6; Rom. 5: 12; Eph. 2: 1, 2.

2. What will those do who are born of the flesh? They do "the works of the flesh." Gal. 5: 19-21. "Because the carnal mind [the mind of the flesh] is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Rom. 8: 7.

3. How alone can man become obedient unto God? "Ye must be born from above." John 3: 7, margin. "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God." Verse 5. "As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." John 1: 12.

4. What does faith in Christ bring to the sinner? Righteousness and life. "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith." Rom. 3: 22. "In the way of righteousness is life." Prov. 12: 28. "He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life." John 3: 36.
