Christ proclaims the new birth - John 3: 3
Jesus came here for a purpose
a divine purpose wrought in heaven
this purpose was to change mankind
for those who believe life is given
This life comes when one's reborn
through God's Holy Spirit divinely sent
to fill the heart with God's righteousness
casting off their sin to truly repent
Only when the new birth comes to be
to turn sinners into God's own
will lives be turned to be light
as Christ is their living stone
Jesus is emphatic here in John 3
for no one, yes no one can see
the kingdom of God is beyond them
unless they're born again truly free
God moves by His Holy Spirit
within a person changing inside
making them truly born of God
so His presence forever to abide
(John 3: 3 (KJV)
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.)
