John 1:13 – Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Born implies a birth, blood indicating one’s family lineage or national heritage. Heritage does not bring about the New Birth. The New Birth is not of human origin, but it is spiritual and supernatural, done only by God.
All the children of God are born through the marvelous work of God; all that are adopted are regenerated. It’s not of blood, not the will of the flesh, nor of corruptible seed. We do not become the children of God as we become the children of our natural parents. Grace does not run in the blood as corruption does. It is not produced by the natural power of our own will, it is the grace of God that makes us willing to be His. The rebirth is of God and not of ourselves to be willingly to be transformed, true believers are born of God, and not of the will of man, that is, something done by another individual.

Bible Study – John Chapter 1 Verses 18-21
John 1:18 – No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.
That is, no one has ever seen God in all of His essence, since God is a Spirit. God is a Spirit and is invisible unless God chooses to reveal Himself , humans cannot look at God and live. The Son is in intimate relationship with the Father, face-to-face with God. God became visible to human eyes in the man Jesus. It’s through seeing the Son that we see God.
We have from Jesus Christ a clear revelation of God to us. He hath declared God to us whom no man hath seen at any time. This intimates that the nature of God being spiritual, He is invisible to bodily eyes, We have therefore need to live by faith. No one knows the Father like the Son. In His bosom indicates how well please the Father is with the Son. Since God is a Spirit and is invisible unless God chooses to reveal Himself. Humans can’t look at God and live.

Sunday School Lesson, October 30, 2016 The Author and Finisher of Our Faith
To follow along, visit your local Christian bookstore, and ask for the Bible Expositor and Illuminator
Golden Text: “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Hebrews 12:1 – Wherefore seeing we are also compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. The great “cloud of witnesses” who surrounds them are the Old Testament heroes of faith . The word “cloud” implies a vast number, we can also use this term for today’s Christians, those who have truly given their life to the Lord and have made Him their Lord and Savior have a change life. True Christian living is opposite of those who just profess Christianity. True Christians live a life of sacrifice daily meaning it’s no longer their will or desires, but the Lord’s will and desires for their life. Read More
