John 3:6

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 3:6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh;-

No matter who the father is, nor who the mother is, there is no such thing as inherited godliness. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh," and nothing more; all that is born of the flesh cannot rise beyond its original source. However much the man may improve himself, our Saviour’s words will still remain true, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh;" -

John 3:6. And that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Everything is according to its birth, and according to its nature. The Spirit of God must, therefore, operate upon us, and we must have a new birth, if we are to see and to enter the kingdom of God.
