"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' 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.' "
Most assuredly, Jesus Christ says to you, unless one is made again, not physically as in the mothers womb but as would God, he cannot recognize the kingdom of God. Most assuredly, Jesus Christ says to you, unless one is being made with the washing of water by the living word, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
"......Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish..."
(Ephesians 5:25-27)
We must be able to see (or recognize) the kingdom of God before He can set us apart and cleanse, making us holy and without blemish as we receive, believe and trust His living word.
