1 | A Man In Need. | John 3:1 | Robert Nicholson | 62803 | ||
Nicodemus by world standards was a good man, a teacher of the teachers and a searcher for the truth. I understand that as a Pharisee Phd. (so to speak) he would have memorized the first five books of the old testament along with many of the Psalms and Prophets. He believed in God and knew that God had promised a redeemer to his people. Nevertheless, Jesus points out his need "ye must be born again" As you have pointed out even Nicomdemus needed to be born again. To be born from above, it is a work of God which is received by faith. I love verse 16 which God has used to bring many people to Christ. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." Robert |

2 | A Man In Need. | John 3:1 | Hank | 62815 | ||
Hello, Canadian friend Robert Nicholson! Nice to read your post after so long a silence from you. I share your love for John 3:16, which is easily the best-known verse in the Bible with the possible exception of Genesis 1:1. And for good reason: it is the core message of the Gospel in capsule form. Still studying at Trinity? --Hank | ||||||
3 | A Man In Need. | John 3:1 | Robert Nicholson | 62826 | ||
Greetings brother Hank: Thank you for the welcome back. I do appreciate those on this forum who love the saviour, not from an intellectual point of view, but from a personal relationship with him. I find that no matter how often we quote John 3:16 in reflection I am always amazed that God loved and loves me and that he was willing to give his Son to the cross on my behalf. As I think of the "whosoever" I am reminded by the words of a song "the promise takes you in." I am presently floundering at Trinity due to loss of time due to heart problems. However, I look to the Lord knowing that he knows what is best for each one of us. Robert |
