Believe & Be Born Anew !
Believe & Be Born Anew! John 3:1-18 Main Point God loves us so much that He sent His One True Son to this earth to save us – whoever puts their faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, is born anew and has eternal life! 1. Jesus Christ is God's One True Son. verse 16 ‘One and only’ (monogenes) = sole one, only one of its kind John 1:1-2 2. God sent His Son, Jesus, to save us not condemn us! verse 17 ‘Save’(sodzo) =keep safe & sound, to rescue from danger or destruction, to make well, restore to health John 12:44-48 3. We must believe, put our faith in Jesus, God’s Son, to be saved and born anew! verse 16 Believe = to be persuaded, place faith in, confidence in, completely trust John 6:28-29 v. 3 ‘Born again or from above’ = spiritually reborn, born of the ‘Spirit’. *there’s a warning here – verse 18 (for us and for others!) Mark 16:15-16
