Genesis 17 the true meaning of being born again; it will surprise you.

Gen 17
Gen 17:1 Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.

It has been 13 years since Elohim last met with Abraham and appeared to him. The name of Elohim is used here only once in this chapter.

Genesis 15:6 Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

He's already reckoned as righteous so why does he have to be blameless, walk blameless? Its a continuation, that is what being righteous is, being blameless. Abram is demonstrating his faithfulness by walking blameless before Elohim. Israel was told to do the same thing by the way.

Just keep His Torah, I don't know how Christianity reads that passage right there, but it's pretty plain isn't it. Repent, it means turn around and get on the path to Torah and stay there, be blameless and stay that way, follow His Torah, you have to learn His Torah before you can follow it. That's why we study it.

Belief requires action, it's not optional, it's not just a “good feeling”, it's not a good feeling at all. The Covenant is the promise of Abraham to walk blameless before Elohim and then He'll be Elohim to Abraham. We found out later that Abraham did walk blameless before Elohim in

Genesis 26:4-5 (Elohim is speaking to Isaac) “And I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.”

Ezekiel 36:25-27 “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, (what does running water represent in scripture, living water? The Breath, the Spirit of the Father.) and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26“Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27“And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.
Psalm 51:7-10 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. 9Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

You know, that sounds a little strong; the term is practices sin, if you have the seed within you, it’s the spirit of the Father. That seed is growing, and it won't blossom until the resurrection. No one who was born of Him practices sin.

When you get the spirit of the Father within you, can you just sin, sin in particular, what would you do? Celebrate Christmas, how would you feel about doing that, celebrating Christmas, isn’t going to happen is it? You're just fuddy-duddy aren't you, Scrooge, yeah, call me all you want I don't care what you call me, I’m not celebrate Christmas.
The term Born again, is actually a bad translation, it's supposed to be, born from above and that makes complete sense. When you're born from above, when the seed of the Father is within your heart and you have His breath within you, you don't go and practice those things that offend Him. That doesn't mean, boom, you're perfect, no, we have a lot of learning to do we have a lot of practicing to do. Being obedient is not that difficult.

That explains why believers in that day and in the last days are known by their faithfulness to Yeshua and in the keeping of the commandments of Elohim.

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman (who is Israel) and went off to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. It also explains discrepancies here in

Revelation 22:14 or very 14 different translations use different ancient documents and they're slightly different okay, it’s translated in ancient documents both ways actually.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.

The King James Version says
Blessed are they that do His commandments that they may have right to the tree of life may enter in through the gates of the city. What's the difference between obeying His Commandments and being cleansed?

There is no difference, if you're cleansed, if you have the spirit of the Father in you, you're going to be obedient to His commandments so it's synonymous totally synonymous, that's the sign and the result of the New Covenant those two things right there, being washed it's a sign, the result is obeying His Commandments.
