John 3:5-' Truly truly I say to you unless one is born of water and spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God'.


These words were spoken by Jesus to a man who had visited him late one night. His name was Nicodemus and he was a member of the Sanhedrin and a ruler of the Jews. Jesus had just explained to him that unless one was born again, he could not see the Kingdom of God.
Nicodemus was confused. " How can a man be born when he is old, he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb, can he?".
When we are naturally born, we are born by water. That alone will not get us into heaven. Something else must happen. The day that we give our life to Christ, the Holy Spirit enters us.
Our christian life begins and regeneration starts. When we flow in the river of the Holy Spirit, we refresh, renew and we are filled with God's Spirit.
