And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Anyone who does not begin to live a spiritual life-that is, who is not born anew by means of the Lord-cannot come into heaven. This is what the Lord tells us in John: "Truly, truly I say to you, unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
