Born Again - Belief- Behavior

Summary

The sermon explores John chapter 3, focusing on the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus about being born again. It emphasizes that spiritual rebirth is a prerequisite for seeing and entering the kingdom of God, and that this rebirth is an act of the Holy Spirit, not something one can achieve by their own efforts. The preacher clarifies common misunderstandings about the order of belief and rebirth, stressing that God initiates salvation and the believer's faith follows. The sermon also connects Jesus' teaching to the Old Testament story of the bronze serpent, illustrating the necessity of looking to Christ for eternal life.
