No one can see the Kingdom of God unless you are born again.

As you walk out into the field, you must remember that God's message of Salvation is not about a new set of regulations; you are not saved by trying extra hard to live according to God's commandments. His commands are an essential guide for your spiritual walk, but no amount of obedience will ever result in the transformation which identifies you as a child of God. Your effort will never yield eternal life and you hinder the harvest when you spread such a message!

Jesus said, "no one can see the Kingdom of God unless you are born again" (John 3:3). So the second birth is not of the flesh but of the Spirit. When you believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins, God's grace gives you a spiritual birth as a new creation; "The old you where the flesh is in charge has gone, the new you where The Holy Spirit Guides your daily walk has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

To believe in Jesus you have been "born again" and have become "new creation" in Christ. Your first birth resulted in your physical body - praise God! But, one day, your earthly vessel in which you live is guaranteed to run down and stop functioning - you were birthed of a perishable seed. In contrast, your second birth is of a seed which does not perish - a seed which results in eternal life.

Never settle for a "good" life or allow your message to stop with good morals and "right" living. These are also perishable seeds which will fade away and lead to death. True life which is abundant and eternal is only found by His grace through faith in the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
