You Must Be Born Again

Nicodemus knows Scripture and respects Jesus, yet he cannot see God's kingdom without new birth. God cleanses sin, gives a new heart, and shares Jesus' resurrection life through the Holy Spirit. This change comes from above. Like the wind, the Spirit works with mysterious and irresistible power, leaving no room for pride and giving real security. As the good news of Christ crucified and risen is heard, God awakens faith that sees Jesus as King and trusts Him for eternal life. Bible Reference: John 3:1–16 Preacher: Jacob Greatbatch
