The Best Gift

“...‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” John 3:3

As with any country, there is a legal, right, and perfect way to enter into God’s better Kingdom. In using the figure of the sheepfold, Jesus describes those who try to get in another way, “...he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber” John 10:1.

There are untold multitudes who are seeking an illegal entry into God’s better country.

For entry into God’s country, heaven, it is an amazing and wonderful thing that God has also chosen birth as the means of entry into His kingdom. And this choice is yours to make. Every person born into this world by natural means, has the option and choice, to become a child of God by spiritual birth into His Kingdom.

For entry into God’s Kingdom, consider His very simple ABC’s. There are no long forms to fill out, no entry fees, no inoculation, no standing in long lines.

Simply:
