John 3:3 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. 5b Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, HE CANNOT ENTER into the kingdom of God.
The passage above speaks about a very specific sort of blindness, blindness to the Kingdom of God. It also speaks of inability of the unregenerate to enter the Kingdom of God. What does the Kingdom of God look like? First of all, it has a King and subjects. In this Kingdom, the King rules over the subjects and the subjects are subject to the King. There are other things in this Kingdom that cannot be seen by the unregenerate. Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.There is righteousness, peace and joy in the Kingdom of God that are unseen and not enjoyed by the unregenerate. To be continued. |
