Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3.3-5Only those who are born again can SEE the Kingdom of the Spirit of God.
Only those who are born of water and the Spirit can ENTER the Kingdom of the Spirit of God.
This is why many are believers; however, very few are Christians.
That's the truth Mrs Ester unless we denied our own flesh, desire and we repent we will see the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteBy past events we find ourselves in the last days,
many are in the church but few are in the kingdom of God, they are fake, they have two face because they never were born of God.
we must take care of our salvation.
You are right Mrs Ester, there are many believers but few Christians. Many people pick and choose what they want to follow from the Bible but the truth is one must deny himself totally to see the kingdom of God.
ReplyDeleteWe must take of our salvation.
Thank you Mrs Ester.
Many people who are in the church call themselves Christians claim that they will enter the kingdom of God but refuse to be baptized and seek to receive the Holy Spirit. but Jesus say's only those born of the water and the Spirit will enter the kingdom of God.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true Mrs Ester many christans they confirm their salvation only by attending the services ,they don't give their lives to God,be born of the spirit of God just because they come to church they say they are saved and that's enought.thank you
DeleteDear Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteMany people they called themselves Christians but they do not do what God wants them to do, they want to do what pleases them instead of pleasing God and doing His will hence we have believers and christians.
Thank you so much for the message.

ReplyDeleteTHERE A MANY PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH THAT TO THEM COMEING TO CHURCH IS ENOUGH THAT'S WHY THEY CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTAINS BUT DO NOT WALK IN THE WAYS OF THE LORD, THEY HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD YET THAT ONE NEEDS TO BE BORN OF GOD IN ORDER TO HAVE AN ENCOUNTERR WITH GOD, AND WITH THAT THEY WILL SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD

ReplyDeleteMANY PEOPLE THINK THAT COMEING TO CHURCH IS ALL THEY NEED TO BE CHRISTAIN THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO BE BORN OF GOD, IT'S ABOUT TIME WE STOP BEING VISITER'S IN THE HOUSE OF GOD WE MUST STRIVE TO BE BORN OF HIM THAT'S ALL
A renewed or confirmed commitment is when one is born again, being baptized into a new life. Such a person does not do as they will but do the Will of God. His thoughts becomes our thoughts,a new creature who has inherited all that the Father has. When we are born of water and spirit we will enter the Kingdom of God. Salvation is individual that is why we have to always seek for the Encounter with God daily.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteI agree that only when a person is born again can see the kingdom of God , many people in the church don’t even understand the word of God , don’t even submit to the will of God with their life, and this is because they only believe , but not born of either water or the Spirit of God.
Thank you Mrs Ester

ReplyDeletethis is the sad truth that the so many so-called believers don't know,or chose to ignore..as the common saying i do believe in God i don't have to go to church God is in my house or as long as i confess with my mouth then am saved..all this deceiving information that the devil has fed people..very sad..
thank you

Thi is why churches are so full of people who are not saved because they think that by going to church is a guarantee to their salvation little do they know that they have to be baptised in the holy spirit and accept the Lord Jesus in their life so as to be true christaians.

ReplyDeletethat is true many Christians do not want stop doing there own will .
thank you
Dear Mrs Ester.
ReplyDeletereally this is very sad because most christians they do not want to give up on their flesh.They want to kill two birds with one stone.
THANK YOU.
There are many belivers but very few christians,this is very strong Mrs Ester.The spirit of God is available to any one of us but unless we deny ourselves completely and be born of the spirit of God we are unlikely to see the kingdom of heaven

Dear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this powerful message. The title of this message really got me thinking there many believers but few Christians. This title reminded me of a movie I watched about the book of revelation there were many people who claimed to be lieve in Jesus but when it was time to prove their belief in Him they failed and chose to follow the antichrist. The one thing that made not to forget that movie is what the lady said to the one who persevere until the end she said, "every one can be a believer but now that we are pesecuted what shall we do than to follow what people are following". Really it is important to be born of God for without Him we are nothing and we cannot be able to stand nor enter the kingdom of God
Dear Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteThis meassage is very strong,going to church or having a postion in the church does not guarantee our salvation.We have to be born of God and the spirit,that is when we can enter the kingdom of God.
Tahnks,
To be a Christian Mrs Ester means to be like Christ. If one is not born of water and Spirit cannot call himself a Christian and cannot enter the kingdom of God. One has to start seeking this new birth more than anything and those who are standing already must make sure they do not fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs Ester, Fikiswa
Dear Mrs Ester the person can not be generated by itself. So also is the spirit.Forces or by our efforts we can not be born again. We need someone who manages the spirit,namely, Jesus Christ,the Spirit who gives life. Therefore, we conclude that without Jesus neither I nor any anyone can enter the kingdom of God .
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
Hello Mrs Ester
ReplyDeletethose who are born again can see the kingdom of God and those who have accepted Christ as their personal saviour born of the spirit and water,baptised with the holy spirit,'born of God' can enter the kingdom of God
People believe just as much as we believe in a lot of things, but believing and being are two different things. Many people believe in God but they don’t do what God says. We even call ourselves "Christians" but lack the Christ like character. We have to stop believing and start being what we believe. We must embrace our maker’s character
ReplyDeletethis is so true, we need to seek the new birth for the bible says those who are born of God overcome the world (salvation)
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the message, we really need to be born of God believing in Jesus is not enough because there are many believers out there but what makes a difference between a believer and a Christion is the spirit of God. The word Christian comes from the word Christ that means that those who call themselves Christians need to have the DNA of God, to have His character. being a believer it's just not enough one has to be born of God
Dear Mrs Ester, indeed, the Kingdom of God cannot be conquered by believers, but by Christians. Only a Christian denies his will to do God's will, and becomes a new creature. Only a Christian is in Spirit to see what is Spirit and consequently acquire all its blessings.
ReplyDeleteThe believers just do the same as the devil, who believed and believes in God, but it cannot save him.
Dear Dona Esther,
ReplyDeleteBefore I wonder what this message means, I've heard this a lot before, but I can't really understand. before I don't give importance to all these things, but I thanked God because, He is always there to guide my thoughts and understanding.. :)

Dear Mrs ESTER
ReplyDeleteTo believe is very easy because every one believe but is very hard for the people to be born again ....
and is a matter of must for everyone to be born again.
This verse shows that there is NO DOUBT about what is written. If there is no fight or effort for Salvation (being born of God) how can we expect to see let alone enter the Kingdom of God!?
ReplyDeleteMrs Ester, this is the sad truth that the devil doesn't want many Christians to understand.He makes them think that by going to church and participating in the meetings means that they are automatically saved. When the sad reality is clearly the opposite.Doing does not make us saved , what makes us saved is believing , obeying and constantly caring our cross and following him. All we have to do is ask and we will received what many Christians need to remember is that the Lord Jesus died for us. To give us a second chance and all we have to do is accept him as our Lord and Saviour and carry our cross and follow him.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs Ester for this message, it is such a blessing.
Many people are supposedly baptised in church today.
They like to talk about or even propheise to be born again Christians. When i ask myself when you see they way in which they conduct themselves have they really been baptised?
Or how i like to think of it is simply that they have taken a bath.
They may stop sining for a while but after some time they go back to doing what is wrong.
The baptism is water is not enough for them to really change from within.
For a person to enter the Kingdom of God they must submit themselves completely and follow God.
This is to deny themselves always and for their character to be a reflection of God. We must deny ourselves completely to recieve the spirit of God.
Believers just simply follow God, but are not prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice which is complete and total surrender to God. Otherwise they are just like the devil and they will never enter the kingdom of God.

so many people believe in God and ask them about their testimony its hard to get an answer out of them. Some are just lazy to sacrifice their life on the altar; giving their plentitude to God and recieving his plentitude. But the thing is what they do not understand is that they will not see the kingdom of God and certainly will not enter it without making an effort... harse as it sounds; its the truth!
ReplyDeleteso many people believe in God and ask them about their testimony its hard to get an answer out of them.

ReplyDeleteThis is why it is constantly preached in the church that there is only one way to enter into the Kingdom of God, and that is through having His Spirit. You may be a good person and maybe even do good things for others but that will not secure you a place in Heaven. It is simple, you MUST be born of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this reminder.
ReplyDeleteThat is true because most people come to church,pray and do everything that the pastor says but they are not born of the spirit.They walk with us but they are not one of us.Those born of the spirit will see the Kingdom of God.God bless
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Ester I just learnt something O so very valuable, I leant the difference between a believer and a Christian, and this message goes back to feelings and faith...
ReplyDeleteThe beiever doesnt want to follow God's will, but their own will, they want to have one foot in the church and one foot in the world so that when things gets hard at least they have "realtionship with God".
But the Christian is delicate towards the voice of God, they dont care who comes against them they will stand until the end because they know that follwoing God will be all worth it in the end.
Thank you for the message

Dear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this message. It is imprtant to examine and know where she stands before God especially now as the days are evil. Being a believer will does not gurantee a person a spot in heaven it may maybe in religious churches. You may be a very important person in your religious domination but if you are not born of God then you are not His. This is what the bible says.
Dear Mrs. Ester,
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for this message. eing a believer is not everything one has to be a christian according to my understanding the word christian comes for the word Christ which means those who are Christians have a Christ like character and are children of God. It is not enough to be abeliever if one does not live according to the will of God.
The sad part of this all is that any people are living their lives deceived... Everyone acknowledges the merciful side of God and the love and everything but they never acknowledge the sacrficial side of things. To be born of the water and the spirit requires a daily sacrifice! Thank you for this message.
ReplyDeleteFrom this post the reason why there are soo few real christains is because only few are really are actually born of God. It's not enough to just attend the church. We MUST be born of God.
ReplyDeleteI actually think that there are many people called themselves Christians but there are few actual believers. Christians just say that they believe in God but it is those who truly believe in being born again and being baptised in water and in the spirit that are prepared to do what is required to see and enter into the kingdom of God.
ReplyDeleteI've been churches where i was not taught about what it truly means to be born again and baptised in the holy spirit, which is such a shame because it is key to our salvation.
BEVERLY MAKGOTLA
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU
when one is born of God he or she becomes attached to God and therefore will be able to see the kingdom of God.hatred of this world is what make us closer to God and reserves us a seat in heaven.
Thank You Ms Esther i never noticed that difference that Only those who are born again can SEE the Kingdom of the Spirit of God.
ReplyDeletehowever Only those who are born of water and the Spirit can ENTER the Kingdom of the Spirit of God.
what i got is that Once your able to see the kingdom of God You want what God has to offer you and therefore seek to be born of that same spirit.too strong thank you

ReplyDeleteThis something that I am trying to come across in our PTF group here. Not many Christians know this truth and we must try to let all of the members understand this.
