Spiritually Begotten

Mosiah 5:7-8 Spiritually Begotten

7 And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.

8 And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.

Spiritually begotten means to have been spiritually re-born, to have a change of heart and mind from carnal, sensual, devilish and disobedient to becoming saintly, humble, submissive, and  obedient to God’s commandments. Faith in Christ begets us, makes us new creatures through Him. Christ is the head, and only through Him are we made free. His is the only name whereby we can obtain salvation and eternal life in the forever hereafter.

Three Steps for Eternal Life Assurance:

1. Covenant with God to obey all His commandments
2. Take upon yourself the name of Christ
3. Obey all God’s  commandments until the end of our lives.

The PROMISE:

“If ye keep my commandments and endure to the end, ye shall have eternal life which gift  is the greatest of all the gifts of God” (D&C 14:7).

Eternal Life is attainable AFTER we have been Spiritually Begotten through faith in Christ.
