Show Notes

In John 3:3, Jesus said to Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who came to him by night, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” Nicodemus was puzzled and asked how anyone could re-enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time. Jesus doubled down in John 3:5: “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”

 

We are all born with a sin nature that separates us from our Creator. We were designed in His own image (Genesis 1:27), but that image was tarnished when we fell into sin. As sinners, we cannot fellowship with a holy God the way we are. We cannot be repaired, restored, or rehabilitated. We need to be reborn. A Happy New You is one who is reborn.

 

Additional scriptures referenced include John 3:1-21; Matthew 23; Matthew 3:7; Philippians 3:5; John 7:50-51; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 2:2; Galatians 5:22-23; Colossians 3:5; 1 Peter 4:1; 1 John 4:19-21; Matthew 6:9; and Romans 8:15.
