Born of Flesh & Spirit - John 3:5-6 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day
John 3:5-6 (NIV)
"Born of Flesh & Spirit"


JESUS answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of GOD unless he is born of water and the Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

I got so excited when I was doing my devotion in this book!  I mean, someone help me if I am a little off on this one!  Tell me if I am too excited about the way GOD has allowed me to see more in HIS Word!  But I had to stand up and thank HIM for giving my small mind a glimpse of HIS powerful Word!

JESUS said that we must be born of water and the Spirit in order to enter the kingdom of GOD!  HE said the Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit!  I always say, "It is not what would JESUS do (WWJD), but it is What Did JESUS Do (WDJD), because HE did it all"  JESUS has never told us to do anything that HE did not already do!  To include the birth! O.K.  In Luke 1:35, the angel told Mary that the Holy Spirit would come upon her and the power of the Most High will overshadow her, so that the holy one to be born will be called the son of GOD! 

JESUS said that there must be a birth of flesh and Spirit!  JESUS was 100% man  (flesh) and 100% GOD (Spirit)!  Is it just me . . . or does anyone else see the power of GOD's Word!  I am so glad that I have been born again!
