We take down the "high thoughts" and we make room for the Gospel in our hearts.
Matthew Henry calls John 3: "levelling the soul and removing all that hinders us in the way of Christ and grace."
Give up your sins for the Savior. And a teenager whispers in my ear: I just want to have fun in this world so I cannot follow Him. What are the limits to your fun? Remove all that hinders us from bringing our thoughts into obedience or we will not be redeemed.
The fruits must meet with repentance. We can say we love, we live, we learn by Christ. But what does my life look like today? We don't accept Christ's offer of salvation without true repentance, once and for all that we do. The evidence and the effects mark us for life.
