Good morning. For the
grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. But sadly not all
will accept it. Instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to
live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age. It's not just to not
do bad things. It is to live your life as if God were watching you in your
presence. We are to live this way because we are to be looking for the blessed
hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
We would not want to be caught doing those bad things when Jesus appears.
However if you say He's not coming for a long time, it is easy to slack off,
thinking you can make things right before He comes. However that is unlikely to
happen. The longer you feel that way, the harder it is to change. We should
behave properly even if He does not come in our lifetime. After all, He gave
Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for
Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. He did that
for us. He did not give up Himself so that we could do evil things. He did it
so that we will purify ourselves – to be a good example to others. We should
have a great desire to do good things. We should not feel like it is an
obligation. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let
no one disregard you. We are to not just keep it to ourselves; we are to share
this with others so that they will also live a godly life. Father thank You
that the reader lives a godly life.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
