Turn with me, please, in the scriptures, verses we've looked at previously, John chapter 3.

And verse 5, John 3, 5, Jesus answered, he said, verily, verily, I say to you, except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the

kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit.

Now here Jesus made a very definite distinction between flesh and spirit.

And we've been going over some of this in this series for a few weeks now on Fridays.

And God's will and plan under the New Testament is that all of us have the spirit living

inside of us and be filled and be being filled with the Holy Spirit and not just live a life limited to the flesh.

Now, under the old covenant, they didn't have this opportunity.

Most people, if they were believers in Jehovah God, if they endeavored to keep the law, it was completely a physical thing.

And a few people experienced the anointing coming on them to be a deliverer or to be a king or to be a prophet or a judge.

But it was coming on them for service.

They didn't have the spirit living in them.

Nobody was born again until after Jesus came and went to the cross and was resurrected.

But now we got a new covenant.

We got a better covenant.

And one of the big things that makes it better is the fulfillment of the prophecy that said in that day,

they won't say to every man know the Lord for they'll all know me from the

least to the greatest hallelujah and it won't be just a matter about reading something that was

written in stone he said I'll write it on their hearts oh glory to God we got the author

of the book living inside.

This is not supposed to be a dead ritualistic flesh thing.
