Good morning. Yesterday we
talked about we have overcome them: they are from the world; therefore they
speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. This is so true today
in many different ways. People say such ridiculously horrible things; and
people listen to them because the ones speaking and the ones listening are both
from the world. They actually want to hear these things. We do not want to hear
them because: we are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not
from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the
spirit of error. If someone is of God, then he/she listens to those speaking
the truth of God. And then those verses we used to sing as a song: beloved, let
us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loveth is born of God
and knoweth God. He who loveth not (bum, bum, bum), knoweth not God, for God is love – beloved
let us love one another. First John four, seven and eight. That's kind of
definitive. Do you love – then you're born of God. Do you not love – then
you're not born of God. Father thank You that the reader knows You and loves
the brethren. You answer all of his/her needs.

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 ...
