John 3:7 (KJV)
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The world has marveled at the doctrine of the new birth ever since.
Some marvel because it is so different from the doctrine of religion.
It has nothing to do with good works, religious exercises, or human reform. It is completely out of our hands.
Some marvel because it is audacious in their eyes.
How dare Jesus, let alone His followers, put such a restriction on eternal life? In almost every religion, there is a provision for the outsider—the sincere seeker whose background, upbringing, or presuppositions have placed him on a different path. But Christ gives no alternative. There is no other name, no other way. You must be born again or be forever separated from God.
Some of us marvel because of the grace of the new birth.
It is out of our hands. It is impossible for us to do for ourselves. The new birth is all and only of God—yet it is offered to all and given freely to whoever will receive it.
And then, we marvel at the result of it:
· Sins forgiven
· Debt paid
· Adoption into the family of God
· Joint heirs with Jesus
· Seated together with Him in heavenly places
The doctrine of the new birth—it is a marvel.
Marvel not. Come to Christ and be born again.
