Changed


There are religious people sitting in churches every Sunday who are as lost as the man in the following passage, because they have head knowledge, but no heart knowledge. Many people get involved with church, but not with Christ. People need to understand that the church can’t save you – only a relationship with Christ can save you…


9"How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.  10"You are Israel's teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand these things? 11I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. John 3:9-13

There is no doubt that religion (the church) will clean you up… it’ll make you look real good, but that’s only head knowledge. If a person is to be saved, his heart has to be changed – and that comes only from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ…

That’s the message Jesus was preaching to Nicodemus… Nicodemus, the seeker, came seeking answers about religion & Jesus told him, “It’s not about religion – it’s all about a relationship…” Being born again is a God thing – It’s all about the grace of God, not the grace of man. Amen?
