Gospel of John 3:

"...No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Nicodemus asked Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb a second time and be born?' Jesus answered, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again." The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.' Nicodemus asked Him, 'How can this be?' Jesus answered, 'Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know this? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved…'"

Christianity is a faith that spread across the horizon of existence, with principles inspiring solidarity and resilience. Life contains many elements, and brotherhood is its essence. Christians are like a well-constructed edifice for one another. There is no sectarianism among them that breeds denial. It is a spirit that shows mercy to all slaves, seeking unity and the end of hatred. Christianity has lived under the banner of truth toward the horizon of eternity.

Who is Jesus Christ?

In chemistry, He turned water into wine; in biology, He was born of a virgin without human conception; in physics, He defied gravity when He ascended to heaven; in economics, He defied the law of diminishing returns by feeding five thousand men with two fish and five loaves; in medicine, He healed the sick and blind without anesthesia; in history, He is the beginning and the end; in governance, His leadership rested on His shoulder and He is called a marvelous counselor, the Prince of Peace; in religion, no one comes to the Father except through Him.

So who is Jesus Christ? This great man had no slaves, yet they called Him Lord; He had no scientific degrees, yet they called Him Teacher; He used no medicines, yet they called Him Doctor; He had no army, yet kings feared Him; He did not win in military battles, yet He conquered the world with His love and teachings; He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him; He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today forever.

Paul’s struggle with himself

"For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, there dwells no good thing. For the will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not will, that I practice. Now if I do what I do not will, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. So I find the law that when I will to do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?" (Romans 7:18-24).
