How Shall You Believe?
John 3:7-12
"7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?" |
It was all too much for Nicodemus' mind to absorb... "You must be born again... You must be born of water and of the Spirit... You can never see the kingdom of heaven unless you are born from above." What did it all mean!
Jesus sensed Nicodemus' uneasiness with the doctrine of Spiritual regeneration. He told him not to allow himself to be overwhelmed by it. It isn't that difficult. MORE>>>>
