Jesus’ friend Martha is going to say to him later in our book of John, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world” (ESV). Now, for us today, as Paul said, it includes the fact that Christ has died for our sins and risen from the dead. Let’s not let that last part of the verse escape us: “unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (ESV). “[H]e cannot see the kingdom of God.” “[H]e cannot see the kingdom of God.” Ultimately, that’s the core essence of the whole thing. The internal drive and intention is to live forever. Death is avoided at all costs. The shattering truth is that there is actually a way you can do that. A way exists where anyone can do that. Anyone can avoid death. Anyone can live forever. Sure, everyone is going to physically die. The material body is going to expire. Additionally, within each one of us is a spirit, and that spirit is eternal. The spirit lives forever.
