I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Faith begins with trust in the simple, foundational truths before God reveals deeper insights.

We must learn the alphabet before we are able to read. 

The meat of God’s word is found in reading the Bible and comprehending the message in its context, geopolitics, and history. A hefty study indeed. 

We all have scrolled into a teacher or truth well beyond letters of the alphabet and the light suddenly comes on. 

Here was Nicodemus, a trained teacher of the law, encountering an entirely new message and without having already established a personal relationship with Jesus, he was in the dark. 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Without a John 3:16 moment, the world fails to understand or embrace the testament of Jesus and his enlightened followers. 

We are called to show others the ABCs of our faith and the Holy Spirit will take it from there and teach them to read.
