In JOHN ch3 vrs 1-5 it says
1- 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 miricals 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 said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mothers 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."
Thoughts
Upon repentance, a new order of life opens to the believer in Jesus Christ. Jesus used the figure of "new birth" to dramatically indicate three things: 1) Without New Birth, there is no life and no relationship with God 2) In New Birth, new perspective comes as we "see the kingdom of God" Gods word becomes clear, and the Holy Spirit's works and wonders are believed and experienced -- faith is alive. 3) Through New Birth we are introduced ----literally we "enter" to a new realm where God's new kinkdom order can be realized. New Birth is more than simply being "saved" It is a requalifying experience, opening up the possibilities of our whole being to the supernatural dimension of life and fitting us for a beginning in Gods kingdom order.
