John 3:5
King James Version
5 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.
Have you any idea how vital it is for us to be born again?
That we might understand the WORD of GOD?
So we can precisely discern Scripture?
These verses will explain more:
Matthew 3:11
King James Version
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance.
but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:
John 3:1-8
King James Version
3 There was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night,
and said unto him,
Rabbi,
we know that thou art a teacher come from God:
for no man can do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be with him.
3 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.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,
and be born?
5 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.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

and they that worship him
must worship him
in spirit and in truth.

but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,

they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:26-27
King James version
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray
for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.

the deep things of God.

the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:

because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
King James Version
11 For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build
upon this foundation gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by fire;
and the fire shall try every man's work
of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide
which he hath built thereupon,
he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss:
but he himself shall be saved;
yet so as by fire.

he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold,
all things are become new.

whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.

3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead,
and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ,
who is our life,
shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him
in glory.
1 Peter 1:23
King James Version
23 Being born again,
not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible,
by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever.
