INTRODUCTION

THE SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE ASPECTS OF LIFE AND THEIR RESULTS
JOHN 3;1-21.

There is no passage in The Bible, used more, abused more, and less understood than John 3;
1-21.

Many use this passage to present their views on The Science of Salvation. Today, 3 major
systems of belief, are espoused, from this one passage;
1, Baptismal Regeneration
2. Faith Regeneration
3. Spirit Regeneration

Now, I want to clearly say, that heresy cloaked in Biblical Language remains Heresy.
Scriptural Terms are used by many, to teach, the opposite, of what The Scriptures affirm.

Now, the idea that God's Word, which has been permanently settled in Heaven, and permanently given, can mean different things to different people is ludicrous.
The Holy Spirit will always teach the same thing to different people.

Now, Get This Truth; NOTHING IS GIVEN IN TIME, BUT WHAT WAS PURPOSED IN
ETERNITY.

Our Study of John 3;1-21, will be executed, by considering these Truths;
NUMBER ONE--Regeneration is necessary because of Man's State of being Degenerated, or
Depraved.
Regeneration is God's inward work of Grace, by The Holy Spirit, in which He implants The
Principle of Spiritual Life, into The Soul.

NUMBER TWO--The Purpose of Regeneration is to produce an outward act of turning to God in
A Conversion Experience, that causes One, to keep turning to God.

Regeneration is a completed and single act, and is never repeated.
Conversion is The Beginning of A Holy Life, until we are made like The Lord Jesus Christ.

Regeneration is God's exclusive act on the passive sinner;
Conversion is the act of The Regenerated Person, by The Power of The Inward Principle of Life.

Subsequent to God's Drawing, The One drawn, follows Him.

NUMBER 3-Distinction is made between The Regenerate, Who love The Light, and The
Unregenerate, Who hate it--JOHN 3;17-21--[TURN].

Now, One can never become like Christ, unless he first exists in Christ--
John 1;12-13-''But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name; which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.''

John 3;1-21 is divided into 3 main sections;
1. VERSES 1-8-THE SUBJECTIVE ASPECT OF LIFE
2. VERSES 9-15-THE OBJECTIVE ASPECT OF LIFE
3. VERSES 16-21-RESULLTS OF THE SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE ASPECTS OF LIFE.
