When God Says …
“He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.” (John 3:31-33 KJV)
The Lord Jesus, in his conversation with Nicodemus, indicates that He is the only One who has come from heaven (John 3:13). His message is His own first-hand knowledge from above. This is why He is the only authentic and valid source of spiritual truth. There is none other, but Him alone! And, only those who believe His message can be saved (John 3:18).
These passages reveal that those who refuse to listen and receive the common and earthly things that the Lord Jesus teaches have no hope of comprehending the spiritual things He came to speak to us (John 3:12). He came to speak to us of life eternal by grace through faith in Him (John 10:25-28).
Hence, these passages serve us our wake up call! And, let's be reminded that:“Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:10-12 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
