Why did God want so many Born Again children....?

I guess he just loves us......so instead of letting us continue to burn in hell and figured we have been punish enough....God sent his only begotten son and open a door for our escape so that is why I thank Jesus for by his name we can become Born Again and become a Child of God and i wonder why he did it and bring millions into heaven as son's and daughters.....brother and sisters.....don't you understand why Jesus calls us brothers and sisters for he was Born Again just like us when John Baptized him and he receive God's Holy Spirit without measure and God's Holy Spirit took on the name Jesus or any name for him written in one's heart....and if one want to be Born Again, one must do as Jesus did and be baptize and God's Holy Spirit in the water must obey its name and we become Born Again.....

    being born again means getting a spirit body because flesh and blood cannot go o heaven.  So they need a spirit body.  www.jw.org

    Why did he condemn most of humanity to hell?  Do you think there was some other, higher level god who made hell and made the rule that anyone who didn't believe in Jesus would be tortured for eternity?  Don't get all mushy about a god being merciful when all he does is let people who suck up to him out of the punishment he decreed.

    You must have a working knowledge of all scripture.

    Jhn 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 

    Jhn 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 

    "Born again" is Greek gennaō anōthen (another birth) meaning reborn from above - meaning spiritually. Its a spiritual rebirth in the image of Christ who is the exact image of God. 

    Colossians 1:15 KJV — Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

    Heres what happened 

    1- God made Adam in Gods spiritual image. He gave Adam a flesh body also so he could interact in earths physical environment. 

    2- Adam betrayed God's spiritual image by choosing to live for flesh gratification rather than for the Spirit of God 

    3- God cursed Adam and all his seed with death and decay, ruining our chances at eternal life here on earth. 

    4- Later God sent his only begotten Son to die a one time atoning death for all men who would accept his offer. Prior to the crucifixion Jesus showed us how to live in Gods spiritual image again. He was humble, obedient and submissive. 

    5- So Jesus who is the image of God regenerates us spiritually one by one back into the spiritual image of God and saves our souls. He does this through his word the Holy Bible.

    1 Peter 1:23 KJV — Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

    6- If this spiritual transformation never takes place in our lives here then we will die in Adams sinful flesh image. And then there is literally hell to pay.

    That's not how to become born again.  The water of John 3:5 is not water baptism.  It is the first birth, physically in the waters of the mother's womb.  A person must be born physically to be able to be born spiritually, and how to be born again (spiritually), is never by works, and never by water baptism.  Water baptism cannot be added to getting into heaven.  See 1 Corinthians 1:17.  And no works of any kind can be added to getting into heaven.  See Romans 4:5.  If you add water baptism or any works to getting saved, then you are not saved.  To get into heaven, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  That easy to be born again.  The Lord Jesus Christ is God, and He loves you.  Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future, and means going to heaven and not hell.  Death leads to immediate heaven or hell, and it is too late to be saved, after death.  All believers still sin.  See 1 John 1:8.  To be in heaven and not hell, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and who died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and who was buried, and who resurrected from the dead.  The only way to avoid hell is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, without adding any of your own works.  See Romans 4:5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and John 3:16.
