The Spiritual Seed of God Overcomes Bloodlines

Modern day Western culture, post Darwin, exalts the physical side of mankind, while almost completely ignoring the spiritual side. Every person alive today has both a physical body, and a spirit which gives life to the physical body. The human spirit is different from the spirits of other created beings, and is what makes us "human". God, the creator of heaven and earth, is pure spirit. His spirit is often referred to in the Bible as the "Holy Spirit." When a new human being is born, that child inherits the human spirit from their parents. The one exception was the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ, who had no earthly human father, and was born from a virgin woman. He was the first human being ever born from both the human spirit, and the spirit of God. The apostle John, who was the closest to Jesus during his earthly ministry, is the one who has written most extensively about the spirit of God entering into the human race. John wrote extensively about the spiritual rebirth, and how one could become "born again" through the spirit of God. Many Christians today, particularly Evangelical Christians, like to talk about being "born again", and a survey done in the United States a few years ago found that almost 50% of the population of the United States believe they are "born again." That fact alone should alert people that most Americans truly do not understand what "born again" means as defined by the Biblical texts, and especially the writings of the apostle John.
