CHRISTIANS BORN TWICE

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

One night a good religious man, by the name of Nicodemus, said to Jesus Christ: “Rabbi we know you are from God from your actions–no one can do these things unless God is with him.”

Nicodemus was a member of Israel’s highest religious court, and this should have been quite an endorsement to some rising religous figure. However Jesus cut right through the facade.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
