Discuss John 3 Page 80

He must increase and we must decrease . In essence we must removed all layers of earthly desire , thoughts , ungodly actions and wonton thing that anchor us in the world that counts on material possessions and titles or degrees which is not relevant to our final journey . The apostles including Peter the rock of the Church was admonished by Christ to leave everything and follow Him . For Jesus is the way , the truth and the life . The rich man could not detach himself from all the material possession he has when Jesus told him to sell everything and follow Him .

From the old testament, where Jesus is first introduced through visions and elements and through the new testament when he was brought into being, Jesus has always and still is living water. He washes the soul by the water of the word which is himself. Jesus is the water and spirit that saves. No outward sign is performed for any reason. Man wants everything to be physical, like they had some part in the salvation process, but we know everything with God is based on the truth of his word given by the power of his spirit. This is why God will only accept us when its based on spirit and truth. Men are to give the true gospel as directed by the spirit and God does the rest. men are then commanded to make disciples of those born again into Christ. This is what builds the body of Christ. If men are not walking in the spirit and doing what God says, there is no way true discipleship can take place because its the blind leading the blind into a ditch where no progress is made with spiritual the ways of God.

Richard 's comments fly in the face of the Greek. The Lord never wished to refer to the wind in this utterance merely to the Spirit of God. Spirit and Wind are denoted by different words in the Greek either Pneuma or Anemos respectively as we are informed in the Notes. Further, the old English word "listeth " does not mean to move, but to wish. Thus, the Spirit moves wherever It wishes.

I believe most people miss the message in verses one through seven. Jesus is telling Nicodemus that all of the Jewish people need to be born again spiritually so that they can accept Jesus as their messiah. Jesus is not talking about Christians being born again. Christians do not exist at this point in the Bible.

I have a problem with verses 19 21. Sounds like while the Church slept a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest false doctrine creeped in like a bandit. Tares mixed with the wheat. Yeast with the dough. Just a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough. Beware the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees and Essenes. Let me ask you all this Did the sinners that Moses held up the copper bronze snake on a pole for in the dessert, did they come to that temporary light because their deeds were evil or of God? If they came to that temporary light because their deeds were evil, how much more then shall those who do evil deeds come to the eternal light of Christ? Is it not the sick who need a doctor, not the well? "Go away from me Lord. I am a sinful man " Peter told Jesus. Jesus ' response was "Do not be afraid ".

I believe in God, His Son Jesus our Lord, the Holy Spirit and in the infinite mercy and the teachings of John 3.

I think that John3 16 is the love verse of the Bible. It defines the greatest love of all that God has for mankind. He gave His only Son who knew no sin and became sin for us. Those who believe and receive Him as Lord and Saviour of their lives will be free from sin and condemnation.

I DO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE LIVING WATER

I Love John 3 16

I love GoD with all my haert. And he love his hands made. John 3 vs 16.I belive in him and I belive in his son JESUS CHRIST.

John Chapter 3 is a great Chapter for me. In it I have seen the love of God revealled. The Holy Spirit has given me the understanding that what Jesus brought to us is the new life. Any one who believes in Him will have it. I believe that Jesus is the son of God. He died for my sins and was raised for my justification. I gave my life to Him to be my saviour, and I confessed Him as my Lord. Now He gave me a new life from heaven. No condemnation for me as a child of God. The broken fellowship in the garden of Eden has been restored. God is my Father, I am His Child. The Holy Spirit is living comfortably in me, teaching and comforting me. Thank You Jesus.

Unto jesus i surrender all to him, becaure god is d god of love

he is love the lord

Does it say in the bible ,who baptized Jesus

Shakinahs verse 16 You know what your talking about, thanks to God someone has it correct.

When I was about four or five years old the very first verse that I memorized was John 3 16. Knowing the Word is very important, and meditating on the Word is very important but applying the Word is extremely important. It is really nice to be able see and read the originial KJV. Roisin, from the U.S.A.

I think to many people read verse 17 wrong. the see the saved part but do not see the might. people should fear God, if they do not believe in his son. an he says too satan believes in Jesus, so you must accept him in, an he will change you, for he cannot live in aunclean body.

I think it means exactly what it says. Jesus came as the pure image of God 's love. We need not be afraid anymore of being judged, condemned , or rejected. Jesus is The Christ, the son of the living God, who alone can make us whole.

I love to read the comments, I love John 3 16, but when some people try to quote this verse it doesn 't sound like KJV, they say eternal life instead of everlasting life, KJV is the best translation, John 3 16 is a great verse, we are saved forever, that 's great, God Bless you all.

thankyou father!

john 3 and 23 in the same chapter they are talking about being baptized in water the thief on the cross was under the old law before the holy ghost had come please read and study the whole chapter NEVER take one or two verses and try to under stand you must study the whole chapter STUDY TO SHOW THY SELF APPROVED

Blessed

The translation given under the peoples bible is heretical as it states that the atonening sacrifice was not to appease the Father 's wrath. This is incorrect as Christ is the propitiation. This is the very definintion of propitiation.

We should be born in spirit n live life worth to the mighty one.

we are SAVED by GRACE through FAITH !. we are not Saved by the works we do or the self righteousness,. you are SAVED if, youve repent change of mind which is acknowledging you are a sinner deserving of hell, accepted JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOUR , and Believed the GOSPEL which is JESUS CHRIST died for our sins in the Cross,was buried,and rose the third day. now after you have done this you can be sure you Have ETERNAL LIFE.

this is my fav verse

I dont understand why did Moses lifted up the serpent... isnt suppose to be symbolize as devil?

Verse 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life. " This is the most famous verse in the Bible, but it is also one of the verses people use to try to prove that Jesus is not God. The trouble is, they forget that John said in John 1 2 that Jesus is God. That is a true statement can cannot be changed. Because if Jesus is not God, then we cannot depend on anything he says. Only God is truth! The trouble is, people do not understand the Trinitarian nature of God. God is three persons, or has three distinct personalities. The Father is the way God makes his decisions, the Holy Spirit is the way God inspires us to believe in him. And Jesus is the way God speaks to us. So God is not a human man as we are. God does not have children. The title "Son of God, " then, is a title Jesus used to describe his human birth, and a title he used to identify himself with the human race of men. Also, it is his way of discribing or giving us an insight into the conversation that takes place in the mind of God between his distinct personalities. These personalities are distinct. That is, they can tell each other apart, but they are not separate from each other. They are the one God. Jesus described the workings of God 's mind by saying this to Nicodemus, "I assure you, I am telling you what WE know and have seen, and yet you won 't believe US. " Again, the WE and the US are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But Jesus is the way God speaks to us, as demonstrated by Jesus saying, "I assure you ... " The Jews knew what Jesus was saying. After Jesus had said to them that he and the Father are one, or that he and the Father are one and the same God, they picked up stone and tried to kill him. When Jesus asked them why they were doing this, they said, "Not for any good work, but for blasphemy, you a mere man, have declared yourself to be God. " May God help us to understand!

"For God loved the world and give his only Son to die for us so that we can have an everlasting life "..I 'm so greatful to know Jesus as my saver,to be called the child of God,though hard times He 's been wonderful and He never changes,when ever I need Him,he 's forever around me.. I love you Jesus.

amen .yes we must be born again to enter in his kingdom .amen.
