Alex Kremer - 08-20-2023 // You Must Be Born Again; John 3:1-21

One of the most common terms used to describe the salvation experience is to be "born again."  As Christians, we commonly refer to ourselves as, "born again believers."  However, even within Christendom, this idea of being born again as a requirement to enter into God's kingdom is frequently a point of contention.  For those outside the church, it becomes a point of ridicule and disdain; connected with accusations of being too narrow-minded.

But how much do we truly understand being "born again?"  How does one become born again?  When Nicodemus came to Jesus by night, this leader of the Jews struggled with this very statement from Jesus, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 (LSB).

Thank you for listening to today's message.  If you are unsure about your standing before God, we pray this will help you to understand what it means to be born again and why it is necessary for coming into the presence of a Holy God.  We pray you will be encouraged through this teaching from God's Word.
