YOU MUST BE
BORN AGAIN
Jesus answered . . . “Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be
born again.’”—John 3:5, 7
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”—John 3:3
Jesus sees all of humanity divided into two parts: those who are
merely born once—“born of the flesh,” “the (spiritually) dead”—
and those who are “born again” by the Spirit of God—those who are
alive to God and see his kingdom as true and supremely desirable.
Look away from yourself. Seek from God what he alone can
do for you. Moral improvement of the old you is not what you
need. New life is what the whole world needs. It is radical and supernatural.
It is outside our control. The dead do not give themselves
new life. We must be born again—“not . . . of the will of the flesh nor
of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:13). That is what Jesus
demands from the world.
