“This i say to you who have followed me in the regeneration of the son of man. You shall sit on the throne of his glory. You shall also sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone that has left houses, or brethren, or sister, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life...” (Jesus, The Christ)

What did the Lord mean when He said…Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God? The answer might surprise you.

As we set aside some popular misconceptions about what Scripture teaches concerning our Salvation, we begin to understand the harmony and consistency of God’s Redemptive Plan and His will for our lives.
