John 3:3 Except a man is born again he can not see the kingdom of God
I´ve been born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!
BornAgain
John 3:3 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
I went to church, and listened to Christian radio, for 18 years before I saw this verse. I am still amazed how that could have happened. I am sure it was mentioned, but it never registered with me. My spiritual eyes of understanding were blindfolded and they needed to be opened (as it says in Ephesians).
One happy day, God sent some of His faithful laborers into my life to show me this verse. This verse changed my life, once I fully ‘got it’. It’s talking about the Gift of a New Spiritual Life that can only be received through the Resurrection Power of God. It is available to all who want it, because the mere fact that you want it means that God is giving you the precious gift of belief.
Intelligence doesn´t make you born again. Reading books doesn’t make you born again. Being smart doesn’t make you born again. Being religious and getting excited doesn’t make you born again. Forcing yourself to be born again doesn’t make you born again. Being nice and moral doesn’t make you born again. Going to church doesn’t make you born again. Being a hero, martyr or champion doesn’t make you born again. Chanting. praying and doing rituals doesn’t make you born again. Going forward to the altar and saying the sinner’s prayer doesn’t make you born again. Getting baptized doesn’t make you born again. The only thing that can make you born again is God’s resurrection power and His merciful gift of belief. Your belief in the shedding of Christ´s blood in propitiation of your sin, and His resurrection makes you born again.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
The same power that rose Jesus from the tomb is the power that makes one to be born again. To be reborn spiritually. Here’s a funny thing that I bet most of you have not seen yet. It doesn’t say you must be born again to go to heaven (which is a fact as well, you will not go to heaven if you have not been born again). If it were to just go to heaven though, Jesus would have said so. But it’s talking about a lot more than just going to heaven to avoid going to hell. It’s talking about seeing the kingdom of God, on earth as it is in heaven. While we are alive.
As a born again Christian, my spiritual eyes of understanding are now fully opened. The longer I walk the earth as a born again Christian, the more I see God’s miracles as well as the workings of the evil one. I see the forces of good and bad. With the current events going on now, I see the Bible coming alive as never before. I see God’s will for others. I see God’s will for me. I experience glimpses of God’s resurrection power when He guides me, heals me or helps others through our faith. I see Him miraculously providing for PureHeart as He blesses others and prompts them to help us, or rewards them for helping us. I see His power radically saving souls and transforming lives of people we are in contact with on a personal basis as well as on a ministry level. In spite of our weaknesses He does all of this, not because of our strengths. That´s why they call it grace.
Do you want to be born again, but aren’t sure you are? That’s a good thing. God is calling you to believe. He wants you to believe. He is not willing that any should perish but that all have eternal life. 2 Peter 3:9. Reading the Bible helps. Going to a Bible believing church helps. Going to the altar and saying the sinner’s prayer helps. But you have to believe enough to repent of your sins. Then you will be born again. You are only born again if you believe, and if you believe, it’s only because God lets you. So thank Him, repent and believe.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
We are in a dangerous world. Things are coming to fruition that are prophesied in the Bible at an alarming rate. God’s Kingdom on Earth is fast approaching. We need to he able to spiritually See The Kingdom of God, to be able to prepare others for it.
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
