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.
What is this all about?
———————————-
Born of water: the truth inside you, FROM the Lord. TRUTH, or true faith. Only available from the Lord, NOWHERE else.
(Nothing to do with baptism)
John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
————————————
Born of the Spirit: a LIFE according to that truth.
Are we a “sheep” (a life of kindness and goodness) or a “goat”?
Matthew 25:33
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25:34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25:40:
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
————————————-
One MUST DO good towards others. This is true worship of the Lord.
Otherwise, one is depicted as a goat:
Matthew 25:45:
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
(Those who did NOT DO)
Matthew 24:46:
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
—————————————-
This tells us what TRUE worship of the Lord entails.
TRUE worship is a life of goodness towards others, the ONLY path to eternal life.
We must examine ourselves, to see if we are TRULY worshiping the Lord:
Matthew 15:8-9:
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
The mouth and lips can speak all kinds of lies and deceptions, but the Lord knows the heart, and a heart NEAR the Lord will not worship Him in vain.
