When your interpretation of John 3:30 is a bit too literal

Coincidentally, they just so happened to be in the middle of a very competitive game of hide and seek.

Actual context:

John 3:22-36 KJV
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. [23] And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. [24] For John was not yet cast into prison. [25] Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. [26] And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. [27] John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. [28] Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. [29] He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. [30] He must increase, but I must decrease. [31] He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. [32] And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. [33] He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. [34] For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him . [35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. [36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

All funny business aside...

I often look back on this saying and reflect on the implications toward my own ego and remind myself that all glory goes to God.

The saint works to magnify the name of Christ and not their own. Moths and rust will eat away the material things of this earth and the gospel believer must remember their treasure is stored in their heavenly crypto wallet. That balance is the only thing that will matter in the end.

Has God made the transaction to your account? If so, you know there is no going back to the old chain of dung false religion. The tokens of true righteousness only come from one address belonging to the Son.

It is not a PoW chain that we may mine our own. The only proof is His work on the cross and the Spirit causing us to believe upon it fully.

The only way we will know if we received this airdrop this is when we truly believe the gospel in it's entirety. Not just any gospel but the gospel through which men are saved in a way that ALL boasting is precluded. May God give light.
