Must Be Born Again

John 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."

Birth, the sign of Life; it is a symbol of new life,a new creation.Saints if you want to see King Jesus, you must be born again. We must have a new life; birth is the beginning of life, so the walk must start here.Just as physical life begins at birth,so must our spiritual life begin with the birth of our spiritual man.

Here in our scripture we have Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night. Now the bible says Nicodemus was a Pharisees, a member of the Sanhedrin council, a ruler, and a teacher of the law, which leads me to believe he went to church, read and studied his bible and had some sort of relationship with God. Yet with all that, Jesus told him you must be born again. See it doesn't matter your title, the self righteous names we wear, the size of the church house or the number in the congregation,what matters is the birth record. Jesus said you must be born again. He told  Nicodemus it is not enough to be sons of Abraham, which the Jews depended upon and claimed relationship to, No Jesus tell us there must be a work of God from above. It is not enough to go to church, and to do good unto others, Jesus said you must be born again. We must die to the lust ,will, and desires of the flesh and be born of the spirit of God. All we need to know will show in the birth record, the proof of the birth, will be in the fruit of the birth. Have you been born again?

As we go through this life seeking companionship, leadership, or what ever, check the birth record, it will tell you all you need to know. It is sad that many who proclaim to be born again will accept a spouse who don't have a relationship with God faster than they will one who has no income. When we begin to concern ourselves more with the birth record than we do the financial statement, we will find we won't have to ask God to remove that person from our lives as often.
