John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
- Although the entire Bible is God’s Word, these are the spoken Words of Jesus in His earthly ministry
- This is the most foundational Truth to ALL theology
- In John 3 Jesus explains that to enter Heaven we must be born-again, born of the Spirit
- Our Spiritual birth (being “born-again) depends no more on our effort than our physical birth did
- Wrapping our mind around this reality leads us to understand that if we are trusting in the birth, death, resurrection, redemption, and salvation found in Christ we also recognize this as a miracle of God
- It is a miracle of God because left to ourselves we would continue down the same self-centered, self-seeking path we started on in our life
- In addition, consider when a strong wind blows through your yard; you don’t know where it came from, but you see its result – the same is true with one born of the Spirit, you see the result of a changed life; a life no longer self-centered, but Christ-centered
Absolutely truth. Thanks steve!
