HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN, TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

If you ask us: Where do you want to go when you die, to hell or to heaven? I think without a doubt, most of us would choose to go to heaven.

Fair and unfair would always choose the best for us, not the worst.

As a result of the words that were expressed by Jesus to the teacher Nicodemus, who said that he who was not born again cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3), it was that the question arose of how is the way to be born again, to be able to see and experience the kingdom of God manifested in the world; so that since the gospel was announced by him, and proclaimed by his disciples; The need to see God is born to achieve the salvation of our souls, since we ignore that life and death have eternal consequences.

The decision to choose where we want to go is ours; that is, of each person who hears the call to choose between good and evil.

God says to men, through Moses:

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, thatI have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:  30:20That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

Nicodemus was one of many men who sought to approach God to save his soul, and Jesus taught him that it is not up to us to choose to be saved, simply, but to show God with our own being, that we long for the salvation he offers, submitting our lives in full to him, crucifying in our heart, mind and body, all vanity, altives, strife, envy, homicide, jealousy; you will go, lascivious, witchcraft, dissension, lies, drunkenness, greed, etc. (Galatians 5: 16-26).

That is why Jesus answered the rich young man when he asked him: what will I do to inherit eternal life? Saying he would sell all his possessions and give them to the poor and have treasures in heaven and then follow him after him, taking up his cross. (Mark 10: 17-22)

The rich young man was surprised with those words, because he thought that if he kept the commandments it was enough. But, Jesus warns us that it is not so, and if he had submitted, then, to God's request, he would have approved it, granting him his Holy Spirit as a guarantee of his salvation. (2 Corinthians 1: 21-22). And he would have experienced and seen at once the kingdom of God in his sin-free life. But he walked away sad.

So many are those who approach Jesus, but do not want to go through the Door (Christ) but want to jump the wall and enter through the window. Then, being inside, they begin to imitate what others do, like Ananias and Zafira (Acts 5: 1-11), and become, not Christ, but useless religious; that is, they go to the congregation, sing praises, give offerings to the pastor, preach and spend shoes carrying souls to Christ or their religion, but inside they know they are empty, and their lives have no spiritual growth, and they ask: What will I have done wrong to feel this way? without experiencing what others have. But outside of themselves, they show their religious morality that is useless.

The answer is simple, you did not take the right steps, God has continued to knock on the door of the heart, waiting for him to finally come in to clean every corner of him.

If we begin again in this way our relationship with God, recognizing the great value of his presence and sacrifice, putting before us our hearts, humiliated and repentant, allowing him to enter every corner to take control of him, enthroning him and crowning him King Ours, then, will give us their approval and our lives will be transformed. And God will tell us in our hearts what we should always do. And then we will be inside his Kingdom.

So if we are in Christ, we are in light, not in darkness, and that allows us to see our mistakes immediately. In order to get us to be in Light.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17).

God bless you, richly.
