From John 3:5: “Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.”
Living a dark life of sin
Failing to follow God’s Word
Walking as slaves in the flesh
“Abandon your ways” . . . unheard
Falling, ignoring our Lord
Leaving Him for empty thoughts
Taking our path, darkness prowls
Sinful hunger calls the shots
Consumed by life in the flesh
There awaits a better way
God never abandons us
Offering His Grace each day
God gives Himself entirely
Spirit marches to our hearts
Delivers His greatest gift
God’s Son offers a fresh start
Christ becomes our foundation
Jesus walking where we walk
Exchanging His life for us
Shepherd gathering His flock
From John 3:16-17: “For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”

Our old self dying on the cross with the sacrificial sin offering–that is the only path to the righteousness of God. It is when we believe in His resurrection that we begin to “walk in a newness of life.” New, where “old things are passed away,” where we walk not as slaves to sin, but as “more than conquerors.” Christ loves us so much that, like Abraham, God has provided a way for us.
