REGENERATION IS THE IMPARTATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE-Part 3

Nicodemus was a Teacher of Religion, here stumbling over, one of the first principles, of The
Doctrine of Christ.
Now, this wasn't the first time, Nicodemus had asked ''How/''
To ask ''How'' of God is a sure sign of unbelief.

In the things of God, it is not the ''How'' but the ''Who'' that counts.

Natural men often admit facts in the Natural Realm, which are as perplexing to them,as The New
Birth is in the Spiritual Sphere.
They don't spend time, questioning how the wind cools and refreshes in the Summer, levels the giant Oak in a storm, lashes the sea into foam, in a Hurricane.
It matters little ''How'' these things are accomplished;
the important thing is they are performed.

But, When it comes to Spiritual Realities, depraved men want to know the ''how'' of things, as did Nicodemus.
This is only, a manifestation, of their depravity.

It is a greater sin, for Religious teachers, to be ignorant of Divine TRUTH, because of their Position--Matthew 15;13-14--[Turn].
They were blind as to the Person of the Messiah, as to Regeneration, and the Gospel of Christ.

Isaiah had predicted this-Isaiah 42;19-20-[Turn].
These leaders were blind, leading the blind, into the ditch of ignorance, despair, and eternal destruction.
