Born Again into His Kingdom

John 3:3 (NIV)
Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"

Several great people in the world are relentlessly striving to bring peace and prosperity in the society. Many were recognized and rewarded periodically for their outstanding achievements in various fields.

But, the Kingdom of God is not just established by social change, but by people who are born again spiritually. Spiritual rebirth is necessary because, the nature of mankind since their birth is sinful. Unless people repent and ask for forgiveness of sins, they cannot be born again.

Jesus Christ already forgave our sins by shedding his blood on the Cross. And who so ever believes in His forgiveness, will have new birth, and an eternal salvation.

The Kingdom of God consists of these people, who have put their faith in Jesus. Through them, God is in the process of establishing His Kingdom which reflects His Character and Glory.
