The kingdom entrance.

The kingdom entrance.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

The only way you can see and enter the kingdom of God is by being born again. In the Bible, born again also means new birth, born from above, born of God, born of the word and born of the Spirit. Unless a person is born again, he or she cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Born again doesn't refer to physical birth, it refers to spiritual birth. You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. When Adam heard Satan's voice and disobeyed God, He connected himself to Satan. He received the nature of Satan into his spirit. He was the first person to be translated from the kingdom of light to the kingdom of darkness. Because of Adam's disobedience, humanity was locked in the kingdom of darkness. But Jesus, because of His great love, took on himself the sins of humanity and entered the kingdom of darkness, defeated Satan and set humanity free from the dominion of darkness. His blood has forgiven our sins and His resurrection has made available God's nature - eternal and everlasting life- to every one who believes in what Jesus has done. Jesus was the first person to be translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. The moment you believe and receive Jesus and what He has done, you are born again. You receive eternal life, the life and nature of God. 2 Corinthians 5.17 says, If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation, old things have passed away and behold all things have become new.  You cannot enter God's kingdom by good works. No amount of sacrifices, prayers, givings, crying or good works can give you entrance in the kingdom of God. Only Jesus! New birth is possible only through Jesus Christ.

Friend, Jesus has done everything that needs to be done to give you access into God's kingdom. No more work is needed. His work is not incomplete, His work is perfect and complete. Believe on what Jesus has done for you! Believe on the person and the finished works of Jesus Christ! The only way you can change kingdoms is by being born again. New birth is the only way to enter God's kingdom and Jesus is the only way to New birth. Go on with Jesus!
