Subject: How do I to better stand on His word? |
Bible Note: That’s solid information alright but it isn’t exactly what that verse has in mind. Just like the natural man is born into this world with the equipment to function in this world, like wise the one who is going to function in the life to come, i.e. life with God or everlasting life needs to be born of the spirit so that he has the equipment necessary to understand spiritual phenomenon. That’s why Jesus said the following: John 3:1-6 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, 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. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Before we can go any further, have you come to the place yet where you know for sure that you have been born of the spirit? CDBJ |
