John.3:28 You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.' 3:29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full. 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

John Baptist acknowledges the truth that he is the forerunner to the grand event which all creation has been longing for, the Christ, and the marriage of the bridegroom. John is a friend of Christ, he rejoiced at what all of us should rejoice in, and what is that?

Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready."

This is the context of Christ words in Chapter Three of the book of John, a new creation, being birthed from heaven by a Spirit God, a miraculous birth not of human planning or efforts, but from God's own love. John Baptist could not give birth to a new creation, Nicodemus could not give birth to himself or any of his disciples, they were from below, but Christ he was from above, and that which is from above is free of the sins of Adam, and the corruption of the fleshly mind created from sin.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice!

2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Matthew 9:17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

Soon there would come a new heavens, and a new earth from this marriage, where all things are created new, new how? New without sin, new from a pattern of a perfect example found in the personality of Christ given to God's children as part of Christ body, given them freely the mind of the body to cherish and feed each one from above, and not below in the corruption of the fleshly mind.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

2 Timothy 1:13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 8:5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."{Exodus 25:40}

Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18}

Soon each person would see the deep whole of corruption Satan worlds is in, and will die in! Yes, the world will know that from righteousness of God's association Adam fell into corruption of unrighteousness and death. All must learn the lesson Adam and Eve failed in their life to learn; life must come from every utterance of God's mouth from above, and he must provide the way up, onto his mountain of life, of pure worship which comes from being born again not of corruptible things, man and his mind, and its faulty judgments, but born from above, from a mind of pure unadulterated love.

1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

This is the lesson the great teachers of the Jewish faith could not get giving power and authority too man in position for their salvation, this is the lesson false religion cannot get today, giving power to doctrine, teachings, religion, man's ability to deliver themselves by human wisdom. The power of life lays in the incorruptible life of Christ Jesus the kingdom is not about eating or drinking or anything on this earth it is about the power of Christ working in God's new creation delivering them out of sin and darkness by YHWH power.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Romans 14:17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

1 Thessalonians 1:5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
