Is There Anything to Cultivate?

From: Moody's Stories By: Dwight Lyman Moody

Listen to This Article

John 3:5⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)

We hear nowadays so much about “culture.” Culture’s all right when you have something to cultivate. If I should plant a watch, I shouldn’t get any little watches, would I? Why? Because the seed of life is not there. But let me plant some peas or potatoes, and I will get a crop.

Don’t let any man or woman rest short of being born of the Spirit of God. First make sure that you have that divine nature, then cultivate it.
