Being Born Again. This is the subject heard often in just this chapter in the Gospel of John. John Chapter 3, verse 3 and again verse 7.
You may ask just the same as that man in the 3rd Chapter of Gospel of John, verse 1 named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee. He wondered because he knew Jesus is a teacher but did not know that Jesus IS God and wonder how can Jesus do those miracles and all. He was curious. In another word, "Who are you?" Clearly Nicodemus did not realize that Jesus is God. He was curious how Jesus can do those things. To us, clearly he did not understand what was going on with Jesus. Yes, we know that clearly he did not know Jesus IS God. That is why Jesus answered in verse 3.--
3 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.
Clearly Jesus was telling Nicodemus he needs to be Born Again to understand why Jesus is that way and realized Jesus is Lord. That is why Nicodemus asked again.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Nicodemus could not understand what Jesus was talking about. You have to remember Jesus loves to be colorful and He is God who understood everything. Jesus also love to say things that are colorful or idioms, or a saying, or say things in metaphor, or anything different. Like we say, "Hey, keep eyes on the ball!" meaning "Hey, YOU PAY ATTENTION RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!" Or we say, "Oh cool!" Maybe a person who could not understand that metaphor which really means, "Oh that is awesome!" instead of temperature of being cool instead of hot or cold. This is what Nicodemus could not understand because he did not "get it" Get it? (meaning understand?)
That is what he was saying., "How can that happen!? HUH? I do not understand this!"
That is why Jesus was explaining clearly in verse 5 to 7-
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Now, Jesus explained quite clear what being Born Again means. This is quite common when a true Born-Again Christian would say instead of just "Christian" because Christian has become genetic term because of different religious organizations including Catholic, Mormons, Baptists, Lutherans, Jehovah's Witnesses. Since we do not want people to be confused with all those different faiths with different interpretations and some even believe in different god than One Tribune God (1 John 5:7).
Born of the water means literally born of the flesh. There are water called sac protecting the baby in mother's womb. Spirit is clearly of the Spirit. That one Jesus was talking about in verse 3 that Nicodemus could not understand. This is why he needed to be Born-Again to understand. To understand is the objective word in entering. Actually, to see the Kingdom of God and enter the Kingdom of God is when you are Born-Again.
Jesus went on to explain what is Born-Again in most widely used and famous verse: 16.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This verse clearly saying now how you can be Born-Again is when you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God who died for you. Now, really, if you understand the metaphor here. It is not just the word meaning believe. Believe means to accept if you understood the whole point. You need to be Born-Again to Believe. It really means when you are do REPENT AND TRUST Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The word believeth in King James which I use means to Trust or have faith in. In Greek the word for believeth is πιστεύω and the transliteration is pisteuō is to trust or have faith in.
You know that Trust is the main word God wants from us. I love this verse because it is very centered of King James Bible- Psalms 118:8-
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
Very centered! This is the whole point God was trying to tell us. Look at the word IN prior "The Lord..." in that verse. Trust IN the Lord! Not men. No that. THE LORD!
The whole Bible is the word IN. You know that? Simple! You will see why. What is the first letter of Genesis chapter 1 verse 1? What is the last letter of the last word in the Book of Revelations chapter 22, verse 21? Now put both letters together and see what that word means.
Now, for you, are you Born-Again? Are you, the Born-Again Believers of Jesus Christ, ready if you passed away tonight? Are you fully REPENTED AND TRUST IN GOD? I hear often this line: "Oh, I am a Christian and I want to go play around!" "Oh sure I am Born-Again and I know I am Born-Again!"
Think about what you just said. Both are not the correct answer. You need to show and act like one sincerely from your heart. I prefer to see how you walk with the Lord. This is what God wants to see. There are many verses in the Bible that explains the same errors those Biblical people and unsaved souls in the Bible that you are doing. I pray you will go on your knees and repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.
You want to be Born Again right now? Please do, my dear friend! Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus loves you! Let's pray this simple prayer and you can add simple words about your life that you want to surrender and be Born-Again.
Heavenly Father Jesus, today I pray and you know right now I feel guilty of all sins I have done in my life. I have sinned against you and fall short of Glory of God. Jesus, I realized you are the Lord and Savior who died on the Cross for me, buried, and risen from the Dead in order to save me from spending eternally down forever. Lord Jesus, I want to be Born-Again by repenting of my sins and my horrible life I had. I rather to be with you in Paradise forever. I will read the Bible and find a good true strong Christ-Centered church to serve forever even beyond my life. I surrender my life and serve and will obey and listen to your Word. Thank you for saving my life and I shall serve you. Thank you in Jesus' Holy Name I pray, Amen!
Now, go buy a good King James Bible and read it. Let the Holy Ghost guide you and you shall grow in the Lord. Go pray and find a good strong conservative Christian church that truly serve God and everyone reads from the Bible. Praise God!
God bless you and please do contact me if you have any questions about how to be saved or how to grow. I will be happy to help with you with anything.
God bless you!!
