“Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
JOHN 3:3
Being born again does not only mean you get dunked in water and you have decided to publicly acknowledge Jesus. Being born into a new spirit is the internal truth and acceptance that Jesus is the risen Lord.
As his spirit is provided - you will see differently about everything and everyone. The spirit of truth and revelation unmask what was previously hidden. For the Lord is Truth - All else is passing away - In Jesus you have life abundantly and this takes hold in new freshness about the previous mundane activities you once did.
The eyes of God are given in baptism and acceptance of the Holy Spirit. New eyes and a new heart are the signs of a new birth in Christ Jesus. The natural birth - the first birth - provides natural eyes. The heavenly birth - the 2nd birth - provides eyes from God. The kingdom of heaven is only seen through the eyes of God as it comes from God. Accepting Jesus Christ as the risen Lord is accepting that Jesus came from heaven to set us free from sin.
Take no joy in the pleasures of the natural eyes as this type of joy is short lived and leads to sin. Fight with all of your strength to protect your personal relationship to Jesus - as he is the truth for life and holds the key to heaven.
