You Must Be Born Again

"Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

Truth is a mystery received by revelation. It does not come through education or learning. It does not come by traditions or practices. The new birth is the gateway to knowing and understanding all that the kingdom of God contains. Revelation is God, by the Holy Spirit, opening our eyes to understand truth that previously we did not even consider.

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven." Mat.16:17

Jesus used the metaphor of being born again. Nicodemus understood what being born entailed. He said it is impossible by natural laws of birthing to re-enter your mother's womb. Jesus told him that it was a spiritual birth, not governed by the laws of nature. Being born again has a time, a place, a circumstance. It is not a course that you take or a book that you read. It is an event that changes your life forever.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2Cor.5:17

Being born again is not natural, it is supernatural. It is a miracle. What is impossible to man is possible to God.

I was born again on December the eighth, 1973. At that moment the trajectory of my life changed. I understand it all better now, but it did not depend on me understanding it, I just had to believe it.

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 3:19-21

Science tries to rob God of His glory by cheapening His work with human intellect. God is not mocked. It is time for men to repent and believe the Gospel. My prayer is the the Light will shine in the darkness. Jesus said that until you are born again you cannot even see where you are going.
