We are reading the very words of God together. Don’t lose sight that this is God speaking to you and me. All of these happenings where given to help us grow and to become more like God.
May we all celebrate the understanding of being “Born Again”. Salvation is not just a head understanding where we believe in Jesus. It is a spiritual awakening where we realize Christ died for me and I need Him and salvation. Don’t ever get over the awesomeness of the new birth in Christ.
Nicodemus, seemed to have much information about God, but did not have a relationship with God. Knowing facts does not always mean there is a relationship. I have read a few biographies and after reading them I feel as if I know the person, but in reality I don’t really know them in any personal way. Get to know God through His word, but really get to know God by living out the word in a life of faith.
Verse 20 really explains why we don’t stay in the Word and in Church. The “light”, Spiritual insight with God exposes us and our sins. The sins of our heart get exposed with God’s Word. But as a result of this exposure we find forgiveness and we get to walk closer with God.
Make verse 30 a memory verse or even a theme for our lives. “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Keep allowing God to increase by taking in this spiritual food, God’s Holy Word.
