THE BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE!✍🏻From: #RocksonTheREVELATOR
📖John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye MUST be BORN AGAIN. 3:10 JESUS answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
The Greek word translated "MASTER" here actually means, "an INSTRUCTOR, DOCTOR, TEACHER". Nicodemus was a very educated man in religious matters, yet he didn't have the slightest idea what JESUS was talking about.
Nicodemus' relationship with GOD had all been ACADEMIC. He knew a lot about GOD, but he didn't know GOD personally.
📝 JESUS had a UNION WITH GOD that was UNIQUE and Nicodemus was intrigued. GOD was JESUS' FATHER. This was FOREIGN to Nicodemus.
📝 JESUS had not been educated by man and yet He knew GOD in a way that the theologians and seminary graduates of His day didn't.
He shocked Nicodemus when He told him that the ONLY WAY to truly know GOD was through an EXPERIENCE of BECOMING BORN AGAIN.
📝 The number one thing that sets CHRISTIANITY apart from RELIGION is this BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE. We don't just have a DIFFERENT DOCTRINE than the others.
👉 WE have been BORN FROM ABOVE.
📖1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
👉 We have CHRIST HIMSELF living in our hearts.
📖Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory:
📝 CHRISTIANITY is a RELATIONSHIP, not a RELIGION.
📖1 Corinthians 1:9 GOD is FAITHFUL, by whom YE were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son JESUS CHRIST our Lord.
📖1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and TRULY OUR FELLOWSHIP is WITH the FATHER, and WITH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.
👉 We truly FELLOWSHIP with GOD as OUR FATHER.
📖Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, GOD hath sent forth the SPIRIT OF HIS SON into your HEARTS, crying, ABBA, FATHER.
A man with a BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE is NEVER AT A LOSS when confronted by a man with an ARGUMENT.
