"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
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.
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?
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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listest, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, we speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." (John 3: 1-13)
As born again believers in Christ, let us not lose our focus on the big picture: the return of Jesus Christ will be the greatest event in human history. Let us not be distracted by the things we see and hear and read.
Every event we are watching in the world today is as good as it gets, as good as it can be, in this world system where we live---all of which is a masquerade, a cover-up, as a blanket thrown over our heads, to block the knowledge of Christ's return from every person living on the earth.
Politicians keep telling people that things will get better.
But things do not get better.
Governments keep telling people that things will get better.
But things do not get better.
Religions keep telling people that things will get better.
But things do not get better.
Not only do the politicians, government and religious leaders want our attention, our focus, but they also want something else: they want our money! They also offer the plan that even heaven can be purchased with a price. If you do not have sufficient cash, then the title deed will do nicely! Therefore, if we make financial investments in them and their lucrative programs, we have submitted our will to them. In so doing, their minds become our minds, their thinking becomes our thinking, and their ways become our ways.
Even the New World Order they are proposing is a false flag, a false hope, for the New World Order will be nothing more than a world of chaos and disorder, which we are witnessing today in Turkey.
All of these things are distractions, which is a working of the Devil: to redirect our focus away from the Lord and to have our minds muddled so that we will focus on our circumstances instead of remaining stedfast in our faith with our minds and hearts focused on Christ and His wonderful return to earth!
As Jesus explained to Nicodemus, heaven is not for sale!
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1: 17)
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4: 12)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of ourselves: it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2: 8)
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10: 17)
When Nicodemus heard the words of Christ, he heard the word of God from the Lamb of God.
Therefore, salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit, a gift of God, and free to all who will believe---after which we look forward to the return of Christ with great anticipation.
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." (Revelation 1: 7)
