How to be able to see the Kingdom
Joh 3:3 Yeshua answered and said unto Nicodemus, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Note: Nicodemus was a Child of Abraham, not a gentile. Born-again was a term used when a gentile would want to follow the faith in the God of Abraham. The person would be baptized and when he would come up out of the water they would say, You are born-again and are now a child of Abraham.
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
This is why Nicodemus asked this because he was already a Physical child of Abraham.
Note: If you are now a child of Abraham. like Issac, (a picture of Messiah willing to be sacrificed), was born before the Law. But like his father, he obeyed how God said to live.
Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Gen 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Note: The Commandments is the Covenant. Laws is the Hebrew word Torah that means Instruction, not the Levitical Law given after the golden calf, when they broke the first Covenant.
Jews and Messianic Jews can not see, just the Covenant. Because they don't separate it from the Levitical Law. They are told the first five books are the Torah,
2Co 3:14-15 but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ. But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith Yehovah, that I will make a new Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my Covenant they broke, although I was a Husband unto them, saith Yehovah.
Jer 31:33 But this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Yehovah: I will put my Torah in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; (all Commandments even the Sabbath), and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Yehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.
Joh 14:7-11 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you do know Him, and have seen Him. And Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
Yeshua said to him, Am I so long a time with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one seeing Me has seen the Father! And how do you say, Show us the Father?
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The Words which I speak to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me, He does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe Me because of the works themselves.
Messiah never said He was the Father, but the Father was in Him.
Rom 8:1-11 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Messiah Yeshua. For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua. made me free from the law of sin and of death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Messiah Yeshua. from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Mat 19:16-19 Now behold, one came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good shall I do to have eternal life?” “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Yeshua said to him. “There is only One who is good; but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
“Which ones?” he said. Yeshua said, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’
