John 3:1-13 The Born-again Saints

3:1-13
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council.
2 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."
3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
4 "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
7 You should not be surprised at my saying, `You must be born again.'
8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
9 "How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.
10 "You are Israel's teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand these things?
11 I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven -- the Son of Man.

  * A welcome ceremony (Parade) in Heaven (A Joke),
 
Verse 7, "You must born again", Born-again of a believer is essential.

Who is Nicodemus? (1) - He is a leader of the Jewish, teacher of Israel (20), a member of the Jewish ruling Council. He praised Jesus (2)

Jesus answered: But Jesus said awkward words. "If you are not born again you can not see the kingdom of God" (3)

Nicodemus asked: ""How can a man be born when he is old?"(4)

  Jesus answered: "You can not enter the kingdom of God unless you are born of water and the Spirit" (5)

  Born again means being born of the Spirit, being reborn from above (6, 8)

1. Characteristics of born-again and unborn

 1) Is there confession? (Mat.10:32-33, v.2, at night / at day)

  Mt.10:32-33, 32 "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me
  before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
  * Nicodemus and Peter                  * Personal shameful confession

 2) Is there personal confession? (2, our / my)

 3) Do you believe without seeing? (9, 12, the work of the earth / the work of heaven)

 4) Do you understand it spiritual? (4,9; 5-8,10,13, three kinds of people,      1Cor.2:13-3:3=The spiritual, The Natural, The Fleshly)

2. How can we be born again?

 1) By water (baptism or the Word, 1 Pet. 1:23) and the Holy Spirit (3,5,6,8)
 1 Pet.1:23, "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God."

 2) Believe that Jesus died for me and repent.    * An elder is born again

 3) Like the wind (8, mystery, fact)              * A copywriter's newborn

 4) Believing in Jesus from heaven (12,13). Jesus=True God & True Man
 
3. The Movement of 5 people bringin-church ,
  Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
  and to the ends of the earth."
