This scripture I think is the foundation as to why one has to be born again in order to get to heaven. You cannot go to heaven unless you believe and accept Jesus as Savior. Christians need to be very clear on this one. This is foundational to eternal life for us. Not only that but to be able to witness and spread the Good News we must believe that the only way to eternal life is through Jesus Christ the Anointed One. He is the door to our salvation. He is the linchpin to our connection to the Father. No one can tell me otherwise. To believe and accept Jesus is to live not a perfect life but one where Jesus has forgiven us of our sins. Everyday I have to remind myself it is because of Jesus that I can have victory. It is because of Jesus I now have a relationship with my Heavenly Father. It is because of Jesus that I have been happily married for 30 years. It is because of Jesus that my children are with me today. All of this and more is because of Jesus.

John 1:12
