John 3:7 (NASB20)
“Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The instruction comes that one is to ‘not be amazed’ at how salvation is to come…. For when one recognizes one’s fallen state, the necessity is seen, that salvation must come by way of something other than by oneself... For this something other, which does invoke one’s amazement, it being a birth of the Life of God in one’s soul…… This birth of life that is to be had is a real birth of something that was not alive in one before…. But this new something which will be discovered to be the actual life of Christ one has no hand in but the desiring of it, but the desiring of it is the gate keeper, for one can have it only to the degree one desires it… Though God is ever ready to grow His life in one, one’s will must want it…
For that which comes from God is Spirit and Life, henceforth that which comes from God is true, real and eternal…. For God can only make Himself known and transmit Himself to the creature as He is, as He is Life, life must therefore be transferred….. For this new life is a eternal spiritual birth that is forever giving life to itself in newer and deeper ways….. For this life of the Life of God in one is to be experienced forever as one’s highest joy… For this is how Christ is formed in one, by this Life of life giving life to itself, the joy of which only gets deeper as the more of this life is grown.…
For the desire of the soul turned towards God will do all in one one could possibly hope or dream if one will but have the patience and faith to wait on God for the growing of it in one’s life…. For God has no other name the the Helper of him that would be helped, the Filler of him that would be filled, the Savior of him that would be saved, the Deliverer of him that would be delivered, if one will but want it, then expect and desire all from God alone and have the faith to wait before Him for Him to grow it in one’s life….
But just how is this life manifested in one…?
That would be obedience to the expressions of righteousness, for righteousness in total is the expression of His life, for only His Life can bring the qualities of His Life to life…. For Jesus did die that He might bring righteousness to life in all those that would be willing to not be amazed…
Be blessed in, with, and by that which amazes, as it is brought forth as the living power of one’s life, in, through, and by the desire towards it….
A fellow desire-er, Not me
