John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus the Pharisee came to Jesus, perplexed by His teachings which seemed very true. And Jesus was explaining about being born again in order to see the Kingdom of God. This could be a simple verse if we assume it means born again to enter the Kingdom of God. However it is interesting that Jesus used the word "see" the Kingdom of God.
Can it be that Jesus mean born again is only the beginning of the journey? So at the beginning, the born again believer can see it, but he needs to maintain his faith throughout his life? If so, this would be consistent of Paul's analogy of running the good race and also needing to finish the race. This is something to be cautious about so we need to ensure we do not fall away from the faith.
