Born Again to be Made New


I. Everyone Hungers for Eternal Life ( John 3:1-9 )

  • Nicodemus the seeker
  • Human Effort is not enough
  • Ecclesiastes 3:11  “He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.”

II. Everyone Must Be Born Again to Have Eternal Life

  • Ezekiel 36:25-27  “I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will place my Spirit within you and cause you to follow my statutes and carefully observe my ordinances.”
  • Titus 3:5 “he saved us–not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy–through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”

III. Everyone Must Believe in Jesus to Have Eternal Life

  • Jesus says there are only two kings of People.
  • Those who believe = eternal life
  • Those who reject = perish
  • “You Must Be Born Again.” - Jesus
