From Nicodemus, in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 24.
“I was a master in Israel, but I did not understand this new-birth. How few understood it then, and how few now.
“Oh, the long years that have gone by since Jesus told me, I must be born-again to inherit eternal life, and how comparatively seldom this great truth is taught by the churches and the teachers of religious matters.
“This truth is the foundation of humankinds redemption, and until a person receives this new-birth they cannot enter into the Divine Kingdom. Mortals may claim to have faith in God, and conform to all the sacraments of the churches, but unless they have this new-birth, their faith as Christians is in vain. This I know from my own experience, as well as from the Master’s teachings. I desire to emphasize with all the power I have, that it’s the only important requirement to immortality.
“The new-birth means the flowing into a person soul, the divine love of the Father, so that this person becomes a part of the Father in divinity and immortality. When a mortal receives this love, they commence to take onto themself the divine nature of the Father. As this divine love continues to grow and fill their soul, this transformation continues until they finally become at-One with the Father, and immortal.
“Why don’t those who profess to be teachers of Jesus’ truths and followers of him, pay more attention to this vital truth?
“When you receive the messages from the Master, you will find the truth of this new-birth to be the one thing that Jesus will emphasize the most. It’s something for mortals to understand intellectually, but, also to actually experience.
(Mr Padgett asked a question) “He meant that as no human could see the wind or tell from whence it came or whither it was going, so no human who received this new-birth could see the operations of the holy-spirit or know from whence it came. But this latter expression must be modified, because we know it comes from the Father. The Holy Spirit is as invisible as the wind, yet is just as real and existing.
“Mortals need not trouble their intellects to know what this great power is; it’s sufficient to know that which causes the new-birth, is the divine love of God flowing into their souls.” Amen
