Flesh and Spirit

We do not inherit the kingdom of God. I don’t enter it because my grandparents did or because my mom and dad did. The Kingdom is not passed down from generation to generation like we like to think. On the contrary Jesus said, “That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). It is only the Holy Spirit who gives us life.

As parents we are responsible to teach our children the truth, but it is only God who makes it real to them.
