Born again

Nicodemus came upon Jesus one night, and said Rabbi we know you came from God for no man can do these miracles that thou does, except God be with him.

Jesus replied to him saying, Verily, verily, I say unto you Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. John ch 3 vrs3

Now the Bible tells us that Nicodemus was a Pharisee, a ruler among his people, a very intelligent person in his own right. And yet he was somewhat puzzled by the statement born again, because the reply from nicademus was: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus again replied saying, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. John ch 3 vrs5

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John ch 3 vrs 6


In truth what Jesus is saying is that to be born again you must first repent of your sins and ask Him to enter into your life, repentance is the first step, you must be sincere and believe that Christ as come into your life, This you must do of your own free will. The Bible states that those who do this shall be saved and have eternal life with Him in Heaven. Where there's no more fears or tears, and neither will you hunger or thirst, and because Jesus is the Light there shall be no darkness. God loves us all and wishes everyone to be saved, but it's your choice... Amen

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John ch 3 vrs 17

I can just imagine what it must have been like for Nicodemus to hear these words being spoken from our Saviour himself. He got to hear an amazing sermon that night didn't he....

Tell Pat we missed her last night.
God Bless.
