"BORN OF GOD" DEVOTIONAL BOOK

"BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME:    WHICH WERE BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but OF GOD  (John 1:12 - 13)"

 Can a person actually be born of God?  Just what is being born of God or being "born again"?  The Bible records a man, named Nicodemus, asking Jesus a question about being born-again  (John 3:4).  "How can a man be born when he is old?", he asked.  Nicodemus was by no standard an ignorant man.  On the contrary, he was a ruler of the Jews and, in such a position, was obviously both intelligent and educated.  Yet, Nicodemus did not understand when Jesus told him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God  (John 3:3)."

The same question asked by Nicodemus is being asked by many sincere, seeking people today.  Sadly, few have taken the time to search the Scriptures for an explanation of the spiritual birth.  And, those who try to explain this miraculous event are often influenced by erroneous church tradition or public opinion, rather than Bible truth.  Let us consider this extremely important Bible subject:  BORN OF GOD.

In any study, the pursuit of truth should be paramount, but we must agree that truth is established by God, not by man.  In this particular study we will consider Biblical truths relative to the outward, physical body and the inward, spiritual body of man.  Man is both a physical and a spiritual being.
