Ye Must Be Born Again
In John chapter 3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night and is probably quite surprised by the rebuke he receives from the Lord. Jesus chides Nicodemus for being a teacher of the law and not understanding the basic principle of the depravity of man. Jesus tells Nicodemus that the Pharisees' doctrine is wrong. Man cannot achieve heaven by blood relation to Abraham or by knowing the law more completely. The only way that anyone will see heaven is if they are born of the Spirit of God by His irresistible grace! -- June 30, 2014
