HAVE YOU TRULY BEEN BORN AGAIN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT?

— New Revised Edition by Rev. Paul C. Jong

By Missionary John  |  missionaryjohn.online  |  10/40 Window Reach Out Series

The Question That Determines Eternity

Across the world, millions practice religion without ever experiencing true spiritual rebirth. Many know church traditions. Many know religious language. Many know about God intellectually. Yet Jesus declared that unless a person is born again of water and the Spirit, they cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

This message was not spoken to criminals or pagans. Jesus spoke these words to Nicodemus — a respected religious leader. This means a person can be religious and still spiritually lost.



"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." — John 3:5 (KJV)

Religion Cannot Save the Soul

Human effort cannot produce spiritual life. Church attendance cannot remove sin. Rituals cannot transform the heart. Good works cannot erase guilt before a holy God.

That is why humanity needs supernatural rebirth through Jesus Christ. The gospel is not merely self-improvement. It is transformation by the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is not about becoming more religious. It is about becoming spiritually alive through Jesus Christ.

The Meaning of Water and the Spirit

Being born of water points toward cleansing, repentance, and the washing power of God’s truth. Being born of the Spirit refers to the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in giving new life to a sinner.

The new birth changes the human heart. It produces conviction of sin, love for God, desire for holiness, and transformation of character.

"Ye must be born again." — John 3:7 (KJV)

The Gospel Still Changes Lives

Jesus Christ died for sinners and rose again so humanity could be reconciled to God. Through repentance and faith in Him, people receive forgiveness, eternal life, and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.

Across the 10/40 Window, countless people remain spiritually hungry. They do not merely need religion. They need spiritual rebirth through Jesus Christ.

Lord Jesus, I believe You died for my sins and rose again. Wash me, forgive me, and make me new through Your Spirit. I surrender my life to You. Amen.

Preparing Spiritually for the Mission Field

By
“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” – Ephesians 6:10 The mission field is not just a destination on a map — it’s a battlefield of the soul. While passports, vaccines, and cultural training are essential, nothing is more critical than spiritual preparation . If you go into ministry without spiritual armor, you'll find yourself drained, discouraged, and possibly disillusioned. This comprehensive biblical guide will help you prepare spiritually for cross-cultural missions — equipping you to thrive, not just survive. 🙏 Why Spiritual Preparation Matters Jesus didn’t send His disciples out immediately. He spent years training, shaping, and preparing them. Likewise, missionaries today must be rooted in Christ before reaching the nations. Without spiritual preparation: You’ll burn out faster. You'll be more vulnerable to spiritual attacks. You may carry unresolved sin or emotional wounds into your ministry. Spiritual preparation builds the inner life ...

The Book of Lamentations: Grief, Judgment, and Hope in God’s Mercy

By
  Introduction This is a deeply emotional and poetic reflection on the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. Traditionally attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, this book gives voice to the sorrow, pain, and grief of a nation that has experienced devastating judgment. Lamentations teaches believers that it is acceptable to grieve openly before God. It shows that faith does not ignore suffering but brings pain honestly into God’s presence. Even in despair, the book affirms that God’s mercy remains. Historical Background and Authorship Lamentations was written in the aftermath of Jerusalem’s fall to the Babylonians. The city was destroyed, the temple burned, and the people carried into exile. Jeremiah, who witnessed these events, mourned not only the physical destruction but the spiritual consequences of Judah’s sin. The book captures the heartbreak of seeing God’s judgment fulfilled. Structure and Literary Style Lamentations consists of five poetic chapters. Four of them follow an acro...

The Book of Ezekiel: God’s Glory, Judgment, and Promise of Restoration

By
  Introduction The Book of Ezekiel presents powerful visions, symbolic actions, and prophetic messages that reveal God’s holiness, judgment, and restoring grace. Written during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel speaks to a displaced people struggling with loss, guilt, and confusion about their future. Ezekiel’s message assures Israel that God’s presence is not limited to Jerusalem or the temple. Even in exile, God remains sovereign, holy, and actively working to restore His people. Historical Background and Authorship Ezekiel was a priest and prophet taken into exile in Babylon in 597 B.C. He ministered among the Jewish exiles along the Kebar River. Unlike Jeremiah, who prophesied in Jerusalem, Ezekiel delivered God’s messages from foreign soil. His ministry emphasized personal responsibility, God’s glory, and future restoration. “In the thirtieth year… the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.” (Ezekiel 1:1) The Vision of God’s Glory Ezekiel opens with an overwhelming vision o...
