The New Birth

3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

 

4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”

 

9 Nicodemus responded and said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

 

Matthew 7:21-24 (NASB)

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

 

The Two Foundations

24 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

 

Matthew 7:15-16 (NASB)

A Tree and Its Fruit

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they?

 

Proverbs 1 (NASB)

The Usefulness of Proverbs

1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

 

2 To know wisdom and instruction,

To discern the sayings of understanding,

3 To receive instruction in wise behavior,

Righteousness, justice, and integrity;

4 To give prudence to the naive,

To the youth knowledge and discretion,

5 A wise person will hear and increase in learning,

And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

6 To understand a proverb and a saying,

The words of the wise and their riddles.

 

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;

Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 

The Enticement of Sinners

8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,

And do not ignore your mother’s teaching;

9 For they are a graceful wreath for your head

And necklaces for your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you,

Do not consent.

11 If they say, “Come with us,

Let’s lie in wait for blood,

Let’s ambush the innocent without cause;

12 Let’s swallow them alive like Sheol,

Even whole, like those who go down to the pit;

13 We will find all kinds of precious wealth,

We will fill our houses with plunder;

14 Throw in your lot with us;

We will all have one money bag,”

15 My son, do not walk on the way with them.

Keep your feet from their path,

16 For their feet run to evil,

And they are quick to shed blood.

17 Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net

In the sight of any bird;

18 But they lie in wait for their own blood;

They ambush their own lives.

19 Such are the ways of everyone who makes unjust gain;

It takes away the life of its possessors.

 

Wisdom Warns

20 Wisdom shouts in the street,

She raises her voice in the public square;

21 At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

At the entrance of the gates in the city she declares her sayings:

22 “How long, you naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking?

And how long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing

And fools hate knowledge?

23 Turn to my rebuke,

Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;

I will make my words known to you.

24 Because I called and you refused,

I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

25 And you neglected all my advice

And did not want my rebuke;

26 I will also laugh at your disaster;

I will mock when your dread comes,

27 When your dread comes like a storm

And your disaster comes like a whirlwind,

When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;

They will seek me diligently but will not find me,

29 Because they hated knowledge

And did not choose the fear of the Lord.

30 They did not accept my advice,

They disdainfully rejected every rebuke from me.

31 So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way,

And be filled with their own schemes.

32 For the faithlessness of the naive will kill them,

And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

33 But whoever listens to me will live securely

And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”

 

Matthew 24:23-25 (NASB)

23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you in advance.

 

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NASB)

The Excellence of Love

13 If I speak with the tongues of mankind and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give away all my possessions to charity, and if I surrender my body so that I may glory, but do not have love, it does me no good.

 

1 Corinthians 13:8 (NASB)

8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

 

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NASB)

13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

 

1 John 4:7-8 (NASB)

God Is Love

7 Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

 

Isaiah 11:2 (NASB)

2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,

The spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The spirit of counsel and strength,

The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

 

1 Corinthians 14:18 (NASB)

18 I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all;

 

Ephesians 4:12-13 (NASB)

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

 

John 3:1-10 (NASB)

9 Nicodemus responded and said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

 

Luke 2:41-52 (NASB)

Visit to Jerusalem

41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up there according to the custom of the feast; 43 and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days required, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware of it. 44 Instead, they thought that He was somewhere in the caravan, and they went a day’s journey; and then they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 And when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for Him. 46 Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. 48 When Joseph and Mary saw Him, they were bewildered; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You!” 49 And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” 50 And yet they on their part did not understand the statement which He had made to them. 51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued to be subject to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

 

52 And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
