see the kingdom of God

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Then we heard Jesus said:

 

“Jesus answered, 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.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is BORN OF THE SPIRIT is spirit.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN (OF THE SPIRIT), he cannot PERCEIVE the GOODNESS of THE (HOLY) SPIRIT.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

HOW can we BORN AGAIN (OF THE SPIRIT)?

 

This, we heard:

 

“Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

A physical man cannot be born when he is old but A SPIRITUAL MAN can be born. HOW ? 

 

A physical man cannot enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born but a spiritual man can enter the second time into HIS JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE ‘s PROMISE and be born.

 

Beloved ones, let us acknowledge THE MYSTERY OF GOD. 

 

This, we  heard: 

 

“For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 

 

But he who was of the bondwoman WAS BORN AFTER THE FLESH; but he of the freewoman WAS (SPIRITUALLY BORN) BY PROMISE. 

 

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 

 

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 

 

But JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE is FREE, which is THE MOTHER of us all.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, Jesus answered and said unto us, Verily, verily, He say unto us, INCLUDE HIM THE CHRIST (THE SPIRITUAL MAN) BE we BORN AGAIN (BY SPIRITUAL PROMISE), we CAN PERCEIVE the GOODNESS of GOD. 

 

‭‭To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

Eze 36:24  For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Eze 36:25  Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Eze 36:26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

It seems to me that Jesus was chastising Nicodemus for not knowing the above. The earthly kingdom for Israel was supposed to have supernatural changes for those of Israel;

Jer 31:31  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

While the earth is still waiting for a redeemed Israel to recive the earthly kingdom, Christians today have already been seated with Christ in the heavenlies;

Eph 2:6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Col_1:13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

We Christians have already been translated into the heavenly kingdom. Once Christ returns to establish his kingdom on earth, all things in heaven and earth will be placed under Christ.

You say here this is from the "KJV". I am not sure this is a quote from the King James Bible > let me check > 

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)

But I would say your meaning is correct. With God, we have the ability to perceive Him and His goodness, even by sharing with Him so we are experiencing Him and His goodness . . . which is in His love > 

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

And yes His goodness is in this love.

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in LOVE, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE MYSTERY of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

HOW might our hearts be comforted, being knit together in LOVE, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding?

 

We heard the answer: “to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE MYSTERY of God, and of the Father, and of Christ”

 

Beloved ones, let us acknowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ, that our hearts might be comforted, being knit together in LOVE, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding.

 

For we heard:

 

“but we speak the wisdom of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 

 

which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 

 

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

 

BUT GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US BY HIS SPIRIT: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Let us give thanks to God, for GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US BY HIS SPIRIT. 

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen
