This goes beyond righteousness, salvation and hope of making heaven in a selfish mode.
The third birth denotes transformation into the real image of Christ while on the surface of the earth, it means taking up the glory of Christ which he has designed for us as a replica of Christ .
John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one .
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
The third birth metamorphoses us into a spiritual being , we are no longer men but spirits , but his Oracle untouchable by men , untouchable by spiritual forces except we surrender to them. Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
The third birth means being incubated by the holy spirit for signs and wonders, becoming far from sickness and afflictions , becoming impactful to our world , becoming an element of deliverance to our world .
The third birth makes us a strange being, men breaking natural laws;
Acts 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
The third birth is a must , enough of Salvation without power.
