John 3:3-7

John 3:3-7 (KJV)

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.  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?  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.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

When we were born, we had to be taught everything; how to walk, talk, eat, and so on.  So it is when we decided to become a Christian.  The Lord had to teach us through His Word how to walk, talk and eat as well.  Even more than our natural parents, God had to be patient with us as we continue to grow up in Him.  Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is just the beginning of the journey.
