The Second Birth Inherits All
Genesis 25:5-9
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. (Genesis 25:5)
In John 3:5-8; Jesus taught us on the second birth, the spiritual birth. The first birth is the natural birth. And the second birth is the spiritual. One must be born again, meaning the second birth by the Holy Spirit, in order to enter into the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 1:18 tells us of the riches of the glory of God’s inheritance in the saints.
Isaac the second-born got all the inheritance. This was repeated when Jacob the second-born inherited everything.
The second birth enabled us to enter and possess the inheritance of God. But if we live by our first birth, the natural birth; if we live by the flesh; we will not possess our inheritance. It is by the living-out of the second birth, that all and everything of the riches of the glory of God’s inheritance comes to us.
Live by the spirit within us, who is of the Holy Spirit; and we will live-out the fulfillment of all the promises of God.
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, (Ephesians 3:16)
