John
3:3
"In reply
Jesus declared, 'I tell you the truth, no one can see the
kingdom of God unless he is born again.'" NIV
"Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God." KJV
We were created by
God to be totally and completely alive so that we could have open communication and
relationship with Him. Since sin has entered the world, to be able to have this relationship with God, it is necessary that
we all have two births. The first one is
the physical birth of the body and mind
so that we can see and experience this world.
The second one is the birth of the
spirit which comes from above so that we can see
and experience the kingdom of God.
Without the second birth, the spirit of man remains in
darkness and alienation from his Creator, God
Almighty.
Heavenly Father,
how we thank You and praise You that You provided us the Way to be born again,
made alive in the Spirit to know and experience Your kingdom. Help us to nurture
our spiritual lives and feed on Your Word so that we will bear fruit for Your
kingdom. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
