John 3:5-8

The birth, death and resurrection of the Christ, the word of god made flesh, sparked the biggest revolution known to man. To this day it rages on. 

The Gospel of John is the only book in the Bible that states its purpose clearly and succinctly: It was written to tell individuals how to find eternal life. Unless you are born again by the power of the Holy Spirit you will not be able to spiritually see the Kingdom of God that guides and directs you here on earth. Believe in His power to forgive your sins and empower you for His good works now and for ever.

In faith believing we, who were once dead, are made alive by His power to the glory of God.

Jesus used the wind as an illustration of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Greek word translated Spirit also means “wind.” As the wind seemingly blows where it wills, so the Holy Spirit sovereignly works. Likewise, no one knows the origin or destination of the wind, but everyone knows it is there. The same is true of the Holy Spirit.

John 3:5-8
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 
1 Peter 1:23

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 
Mark 16:16

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
Acts 2:38

5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. 
Ecclesiastes 11:5

Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 
Ezekiel 37:9

11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 

1 Corinthians 2:11
