A 'new man' is the work of God

It is very important that we remember that the making of a 'new man' is the work of God. It is a fearful thing for a man to take credit and say, "I converted somebody." No man can convert a soul. That is the work of God. Nicodemus became troubled about that very thing and he said, "Why Lord, it cannot be. A man cannot be born twice. He is born once; he goes through life once and he ends up in the grave and that is the end."

Jesus looked at him and said, "Professor Nicodemus, there is one thing that you will have to learn, you will have to become just like a little child." "You must be born again, or ye cannot see the kingdom of heaven."
