John 1:13

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 1:13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

There is another birth beside the natural one; never does the birth of the flesh make us Christians. If our ancestry should be a line of saints yet are we born sinners; we must be born again if we are to become saints. If we could trace our pedigree to a perfect man, if such there be, yet the birth by the flesh would not avail us. Sons of God are." born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
