March 6th, 2025 by Pastor SolleyJohn 3:1-7 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
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.
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?
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.
KJV
Was sharing this recently and all went well until it was said why we need to be born again and when the sin problem was brought up the conversation came to an end. Sin is the reason Jesus Christ came into this world. Sin is the reason Jesus gave His life a sacrifice for all on the cross. Sin is the reason Jesus shed His blood. And sin is what Jesus defeated when He arose from the grave. The problem is sin and until one can see that they cannot be born again. Have you confronted the sin problem in your life? Jesus did take Nicodemus to the sin problem. (John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.) Evil deeds are sin and only after one sees him or herself as a sinner can they be saved. Praise God for the great salvation verse that is found in this passage. (John 3:16 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.) And praise God that Jesus took care of the sin problem and all we must do is confess that we are sinners before God and ask in faith and believing for Jesus to save us and we can be born again. Marvel not.
