John 3:11

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 3, 11. Truly truly. I say to you. We speak of what we know. And bear witness of what we have seen. But you do not receive our testimony.  Jesus saying we speak of what we know. That means. There it is, not I but we It speaks of all the apostles and Prophets Ephesians 2 20 says, built on the foundations of Apostles and Prophets  Christ, Jesus himself, being the Cornerstone. Paul here, speaks of the church, been built on the foundations of the Apostles and Prophets in essence  Jesus is speaking of the word of God and is directing Nicodemus to the source instead of the traditions of man. He Is saying in effect we speak what we know. It is the sure word of the Lord and not the word of man. When someone preached the gospel or the Bible, they are preaching that which is certain We bear witness of what we have seen means that one can actually see the fruits and the benefits of this testimony of the word of God. We see the Miracl...

John 3:10

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3, 10.  Jesus answered him. Are you the teacher of Israel? And at you, do not understand these things.  Jesus says, you are the teacher or a master of Israel, which means that Nicodemus was held in a very high regard as he was looked upon even in a more Superior light than just being a member of the sanadrin which  within itself was of the greatest privileges. Yet he knew the word of God so little that he really  did not know what it is to be saved. This is the tragedy of many in the world at this present day in fact, always had been. Israel at that time would have thought of this man as anything, but a spiritual gaint. This means that association with spiritual things, does not bring salvation. It also means participating in spiritual things or  rituals contains no Saving Grace.  Many Christians today profess salvation but in reality, not know the Lord and are completely lost. The question do you not ...

John 3:9

Image
John 3, 9. Nicodemus said to him, how can these things be? Was speaking to Nicodemus. He said, unless you are born again, you will not see the kingdom of God. But Nicodamus did not understand. So, Jesus explained. Step by step, what is it to be born again. But he still thinking of the natural. Whatever knowledge we have, unless the Holy spirit gives us the understanding, you will not be able to know the things written in the word of God or the Bible. The best way to understand Bible is to go through the Bible. Bible is the best interpretation for the Bible. If you are not able to understand the verse, we find out the verses written about that in other parts of the Bible. Yes, if you are not able to understand what is born again, The Bible says, Romans 10 9. That if you confess. With your mouth. Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from dead you will be saved. Yes, you are going to be born again when we submit ourselves to Christ, and also believe...

John 3:8

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3 8. The wind blows, where it wishes. And you hear it sound. But you do not know where it comes from or where it goes, so it is with everyone who is born of the spirit.  In this way, Jesus explains the born-again experience. He likens it to the wind which comes and goes, but it is impossible to tell exactly how or what causes it to blow in a certain direction or exactly where it originates.  The idea is one cannot deny it's presence because it can be readily felt. However, it's coming and going is a mystery. So it is with everyone who is born of the spirit. The born again experience is beyond comprehension. One knows that God is the author of the Salvation and that he carries it out by the power of the Holy Spirit, according to the faith evidenced in Jesus, And what he did at Calvary. We also know it is a gift of God. However, The means of, in which the Lord. This, the changing of a human heart immediately upon faith i...

John 3:7

Image
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...

John 3:6

Image
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...

John 3:5

Image
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...
