You Must be Born Again
"We're living in a time where right is wrong, and wrong is right. People are lovers of themselves, and lovers of pleasure, more than lovers of God. There is a form of godliness that denies the very presence of God. People of corrupt minds; failing the test when it comes to faith and faithfulness.
The will of God is foolishness unto those who do not know Him. The natural mind cannot comprehend the things of God without the Spirit of God. The wisdom of God is a stumbling block to the strong, and foolishness to the wise. To understand the will of God requires being "born again." Not entering into your mother's womb a second time, but relinquishing you will, and your life, to the will of God.
Jesus tells us in John 3:
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
"Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." The person is spiritually blind. They are unable to discern the things of God. They live in darkness. Their mind is governed by the will of their own unnatural fleshly desires. They are governed by the intends of their own hearts.
"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." There is no peace for the person without God. Their life is a life of discord and unrest. One might tell you they're happy, but a view of their life style will reveal unto you that they must daily pad themselves with things and people in order to "appear" to have peace. And when they're left alone, they're most wretched and miserable.
Being born again is an unseen work of the Lord in the heart of people. To be born again is to have your mind renewed and shaped by the Word of God.
