In his first birth, man obtains a physical life.
When man receives God's life through Christ, he experiences a second birth, which the Bible calls regeneration."God.. . has regenerated us. .. through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead." 1 Pet. 1:3
Jesus said, "Unless a man is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3
A pig cannot participate in the sheep's kingdom and live a sheep's life by education, improvement, or regulation; it must possess the life of a sheep.
Similarly, man cannot participate in God's kingdom and live a divine life by education, improvement, or regulation; he must receive the life of God!
