Today’s Scripture: John 3:1-8 (S.O.A.P. John 3:3)
Question of the Day: What did Jesus say had to happen before we can see the Kingdom of God? How is this possible?
Now a certain man, a Pharisee[a] named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council,[b] 2 came to Jesus[c] at night[d] and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs[e] that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus replied,[f] “I tell you the solemn truth,[g] unless a person is born from above,[h] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”[i] 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time, can he?”[j]
Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth,[k] unless a person is born of water and spirit,[l] he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh,[m] and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all[n] be born from above.’[o] 8 The wind[p] blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”[q]
Unless you accept Christ as your personal savior and have the holy spirit live and guide your life you will not enter the kingdom of God. God provided with Jesus and all we need to do is accept him and live according to God’s will. We all might have our moments of struggles but when you are a child of God he will not let of wonder to far from the will he has set for you.
