"Lo, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you" (Lk. 17:21).Since everything is based on the rebirth and renewal of man, God included everything that must occur spiritually in man in faith in the external Scriptures, and in them described the whole new man. Since God’s Word is the seed of God in us, it must bring forth spiritual fruit and it must do so through faith in the manner taught and testified externally in the Scriptures or it is a dead seed and a dead birth. What the Scripture teaches I must experience for my comfort in spirit and faith.

What True Faith Is

"He who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God" (1 John 5:1).Faith is a deep assent and unhesitating trust in God’s grace promised in Christ and in the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. It is ignited by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Through this faith we receive forgiveness of sins, in no other way than through pure grace without any of our own merits (Eph. 2:8) but only by the merits of Christ.

"Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires" (Gal. 5:24).Repentance or true conversion is a work of God the Holy Spirit, by which man understands his sins and the wrath of God against sins from the law. Out of this are awakened in his heart repentance and sorrow. From the Gospel, however, he understands God’s grace and through faith he receives forgiveness for his sins in Christ. Through this repentance, the mortification and crucifixion of the flesh and all fleshly lusts and the evil qualities of the heart and the life-giving power of the spirit comes. By it, Adam and all his evil die in us through true sorrow and Christ lives in us through faith (Gal. 2:20). The two things are tied together. The new life and the renewal of the spirit follow upon the mortification of the flesh. When the old man dies the new comes to life and when the new comes to life the old dies (2 Cor. 4:16 … Col. 3:5 … Rom. 6:11 …).

There is a twofold birth of a Christian man: the carnal, sinful, damnable, and accursed birth that comes from Adam, by which the seeds of the serpent, the image of Satan, and the earthly bestial quality of man is continued, and the spiritual, holy, blessed, gracious, new birth that comes out of Christ, by which the seed of God and the heavenly, godly man is perpetuated in a spiritual manner.As a result, each Christian man has two birth lines in himself, the fleshly line of Adam and the spiritual line of Christ, which comes out of grace. Just as Adam’s old birth is in us, so also must Christ’s new birth be in us. This is the new and the old man, the old and the new birth, the old and the new Adam, the earthly and the heavenly image, the old and the new Jerusalem, flesh and spirit, Adam and Christ in us, the internal and the external man.

What The Fall Of Adam Is

"For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience many will be made righteous." (Rom. 5:19)
The fall of Adam is disobedience against God by which man turned from God to himself and robbed God of the honor in that he himself wished to be God. By this, he destroyed the holy image of God, namely, perfect, original righteousness and holiness. In his understanding, he was blinded, in his will, disobedient and antagonistic to God; in all the powers of his heart, he was twisted and became God’s enemy. This

"Be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness" (Eph. 4:23–24).The image of God in man is the conformity of the human soul, understanding, spirit, mind, will, and all internal and external bodily and spiritual powers with God and the Holy Trinity and with all divine qualities, virtues, wills, and characteristics. This is indicated in the decision of the Holy Trinity: Let us make man in our image after our likeness, and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and the cattle, and all the earth (Gen. 1:26).
