Jesus said, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).”
Born again? You must be kidding!
Put life in reverse? We can’t be born again.
Oh, but wouldn’t we like to? A try-again. A reload. How can this be? Jesus answers in John 3:16—the hope diamond of the Bible.
“For God so loved the word that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life“. A twenty-six word parade of hope!
If you know nothing of the Bible—start here. If you know everything about the Bible—return here! He loves. He gave. We believe. We live! “For God so loved the word that he gave his one and only Son…” John 3:16.
