Being born again - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes.The world through wisdom did not know God.
Luke 10:21; 1 Corinthians 1:21

Being born again
Replying to the religious man who had been interrogating Him, Jesus said, "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3; 3). Some time later He told His disciples, "Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3).The Lord Jesus set an objective and a condition before His questioners.

The objective: entering the kingdom of God.

The condition: being born again and entering like a little child.

Every human being is by nature in a domain from which God is excluded by the knowledge that man claims to have. Being unable to escape from this domain, he is invited by God to put his trust in the salvation that Christ offers him without resistance or incredulous reasoning. It is like finding the freshness of trust that a child manifests spontaneously.

Let us note that finding a childlike spirit does not mean abdicating one's intelligence, nor pretending to be naïve or an immature adult. It is much simpler, yet for some much more difficult: simply trusting God and believing His Word. Have we learned to silence the voice of human wisdom within us in order to listen to the wisdom of God? Have we come to Jesus with the simplicity and trust of a child so as to enter that divine domain, the kingdom of God?
