Create John 3:3

Posted on by Just broken

John 3:3 (ESV)
3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again[a] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Footnotes:
John 3:3 Or from above; the Greek is purposely ambiguous and can mean both again and from above

Born again. Born from above. Regenerated, made a new creation. That’s the only way to heaven. There’s not a lot of ambiguity here.

Do you think you can recreate yourself with no outside help? How about with just human help? Seems to me that with human help you get human results, and Christ wasn’t talking about human results.

Think about it. Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to come and change who you are in the way Christ talks about it? Not just a little change, but a radical, all encompassing change. Change from the kingdom of God, not from human condition.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
