3. YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN
Part1 of 3.
(Dear reader to get a continual understanding, please read posts 1 and 2 of "Ye Must Be Born Again").
Our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST chose HIS words in John 3v3 "Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of GOD." And in John 3v5, HE says "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
To the glory of GOD my poor knowledge and training in English and Teaching may seem to be in play in this post, please forgive me. I am not being pedantic or outlandish. We need to fully understand the words of CHRIST to key into HIS message of Regeneration.
Let us look at the words used and their meanings.
1. VERILY, VERILY= surely, truly, of a truth, let it be your own, this is sure, is true, I AM telling you truly, so be it, I confirm and establish the pillars of,
it is certain, so believe in it
stand firm in it, I want you to trust ME, I want it to be permanent with you, to have the assurance, believe, Let it be of long and continuous. (Remember HE mentioned VERILY twice; and Divine Wisdom don't speak purposeless).
2. I SAY UNTO THEE =I, JESUS, the SON of GOD, in the bosom of the FATHER that knows what the FATHER knows and desires in HIS eternal plan and purpose, NOT prophet-servants like Adam up to John the Baptist, I AM the ONE you Nicodemus came to at night to be enlightened in the things of GOD, WHOSE doctrines you profess to teach people. I.AM teaching you, advising you, exhorting you, commanding you, the true position of the things of that GOD.
3ai.) EXCEPT= if not, unless,
3aii.) A MAN = a certain one, any man/woman/person/man-child/any person (see Rev 20v15).
any person, any kind of man, any man at all, every man, one man, some man, somebody, (meaning from Kings, Presidents to the least citizen, GOs to the least worshippers, idol worshippers and atheists). Contd in part2of3.
