Jesus is alive

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3 7,  Do not Marvel. That I said you must be born again.  Do not Marvel. The Amplified Bible says, do not be surprised or astonished this addresses, Nicodamus to the surprise, which Jesus saw on his face. In the few movement time, nicodomas finds that their old ideas of the national privileges and the purification by the sacrifice and of the soundly thought principles and habits meant nothing at all to the Lord. Yes, many people will stand before God one day and find out that all their good works, Ritual, religion and beautiful ceremonies are absolutely nothing to do with being right with God. The phrase you must be born again says it all. This and this alone will be recognized by the creator of all ages. Entrance into human families is  by natural birth and into the Divine family is by the spiritual birth. It does not matter how spiritual a person may talk and seem to claim to be If he lives in the principles that a...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3, 6.  That, which is born of the flesh is flesh and that, which is born of the spirit is Spirit. The phrase that which is born of Flesh is flesh, has to do with the natural birth. The phrase and that which is born of the spirit is spirit, has to do with what God alone can solely do in our lives. Human beings by themselves are flesh. And their power is limited to what the flesh can do. But the Essence of the spirit is power and life which are Beyond human power and human life. When the spirit takes Position of us, the defeated life of human nature becomes a Victorious life of God. Spiritual birth is absolutely necessary for every man, because all people apart from Christ are sinful by Nature separated from God and in opposition to God, from the birth. On Our own We are not capable of having a close personal relationship with God without the life, transforming power of the Holy spirit. Spiritual birth happens to those who repen...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3 5.  Jesus answered, truly. Truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.  John chapter 3, 1 to 8. Jesus discusses one of the foundational doctrines of teachings of the Christian faith that is spiritual birth. What is born of water has been debated, by many Bible Scholars. Some say water means, natural birth of a man, others believe that it signifies spiritual cleansing by the word of God. There are others who say that Jesus was probably referring to the cleansing or the spiritual purifying work of the Holy Spirit as it is given in Titus 3 5 it says the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. One thing is the Regeneration or the spiritual birth is an inward recreating of a spiritual person, spiritually, a life transforming, a change or wreak making of a person's attitude thinking action and occurs from inside out, It marks the beginning of a new and a...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3, 3,  Jesus answered him "truly truly I say to you unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.  This was something totally different than what this ruler of the Jews was anticipating. In this few words, Jesus would address Israel's great error as well as proclaim, the fundamental truth. Actually, the most important truth of all is addressed. Israel's error and man's need. First, the Israel's error, Israel had come to a place where a religious leaders believed that simply being born into a Israelite home constituted salvation. They felt that simply being a child of Abraham and therefore a true Jew consisted of Salvation. Here Jesus addresses the greatest need of the human family the need to be born again which constitutes of Redemption. In effect, Jesus is saying that this applies to all even the Jews, no matter that they are the children of Abraham. As well, this means that all men are sinn...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3 1. Now there was a man of the Pharisees. Named Nicodamus a ruler of the Jews.  For the most part, we see that Jesus was surrounded by Ordinary People. But here, we see that he was in contact with an aristocracy of Jerusalem, nicodamas was a wealthy man. We see this when Jesus died Nikodamus brought for his body, a mixture of Mayr and aloes, weighing about a hundred pound, only a wealthy person can do that. Nicodomas was a Pharisee. A Pharisee entered into a Brotherhood Covenant by taking a pledge in front of three Witnesses. That throughout his life, he will be obeying, the word, the law. To the Jews. The law was the most sacred thing in the world. The law was first five books of the Old Testament. The scribes and Pharisees are set out to extract from the great principles of the law. Every fine, finite number of rules and regulations to govern every conceivable situations in life. In other words, they change the law of the g...
