John 3:7 - You Must Be Born Again!

John 3:7 (NKJV) Do not marvel that I said to 
you, 'You must be born again.' 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   The Bible teaches that unless we have 
experienced the new birth, we cannot get into the 
kingdom of Heaven. Jesus made it even stronger by 
saying we must be born again. There is nothing 
indefinite, nothing optional about that. He who would 
enter the kingdom of God must be born again. 
   Salvation is not just repairing the 
original self. It is a new self created of God in 
righteousness and true holiness. Regeneration is not even 
a change of nature or a change of heart. Being 
born again is not a change - it is a 
regeneration, a new generation. It is a second birth. 
   The life that comes from the new birth 
cannot be obtained by natural development or 
self-effort. Man does not by nature have this holiness 
that God requires for Heaven. "That which is born 
of the flesh is flesh" (John 3:6). In the new 
birth alone is the beginning of such a life to be 
found. To live the life of God we must have the 
nature of God. 
   What does it mean to have the nature of 
God? [Peace for Each Day by Billy Graham]
