  1. The words are similiar as "born again" " born anew" "born from above"'.Born again has been most used through the world and has been accepted in most circles. Born anew menans that there is a new beginning and the belief that you are expected to bear frit.Born from above may reminds some of Jesus baptism wnen the Spirit came upon hin fro above and lighted on Him.The last tells that there may a greater emphasis on the Holy Spirit i your new life
  2. What does entering the Kingdom have to being born anew? You have decided that you wish to a follower of Jesus-being born anew requires a new way of attitudes. The things I used to do I would do them no more.The things I used to say I would say them no more .The places I used to go I would go there no more .It is a great day since I have being born anew-again from above and within. The 3 words are similar and have the same effect- change is important here and acceptance is important for transformation.We are children of God born from above by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us.
  3. What Jesus intended the Parable of the soils to teach us about the message of the kingdom? Jesus teaching was that all soils can bear fruit but the sower has to ensure that it is done well.there may be losses but still there must be joy in doing the task. Why are these truths essential for keeping disciples from being disillusioned ? It was essential for them to realize that the frustrations disappointments that may lie ahead for them- so he told them in a story style similar to their experiences so that if or when this occur they will not quit remembering that God told Joshua" I will never leave you nor forsake."
  4. They all try to detract us from God.The pleasures of the world can be surely appreciated by those who have plenty wealth or riches.This does not ensure inner peace and can cause great worry and drive us further when we should pray.
  5. They fall away quickly because their priorities are varied and their interests quickly fade away.The different type of soils indicate the various types of persons in the world -their attitude to God words depend on their heart inclination. The failing to reach maturity is related to their dependency on Him and the assurance that His word iword will provide sustenable growth
  6. Repentance means abandoning your previous way of life and acceptance of a new approach to God. This involves honesty , humility and renunciation and seeking God forgiveness. The main reason we do not want to admit our sins.We may believe that admission of same may present us to others as we being weak or ineffective as a true champion as we may appear to others. It is difficult to say how many are guilty but we all are at sometime or the other fail Him.
