The necessity of the new birth
from St David's Bridge Strict Baptist Chapel · host Philip Buss
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:7) **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the transformative necessity of spiritual rebirth, rooted in Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3:7, where He declares, 'Ye must be born again.' It emphasizes that this new birth is not a moral reform but a divine miracle of grace, essential for salvation and a living relationship with Christ, who is both the promised Saviour from Eden and the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecy. Drawing from Scripture, including Isaiah's invitation to the thirsty, Paul's conversion, and the resurrection as divine confirmation of Christ's completed work, the message underscores that salvation is a gift of God's grace, not human effort, and is secured through faith in Christ alone. The sermon highlights the personal, eternal nature of this transformation, illustrated through Nicodemus's journey from secrecy to public witness, and calls believers to embrace this new life with awe and gratitude, knowing that Christ's sacrifice satisfies divine justice and gives eternal life to all who believe.
