Beloved: Gospel of John\nHow to Prepare to Meet God, Part 2\nMarch 10, 2019\n\nPlease turn in your Bibles to John 3:1-21\n\nJesus replied, \u201cVery truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.\u201d \n4 \u201cHow can someone be born when they are old?\u201d Nicodemus asked. \u201cSurely they cannot enter a second time into their mother\u2019s womb to be born!\u201d \n5 Jesus answered, \u201cVery truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. John 3:3-5\n\n\u201c\u2026the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who\nbelieves may have eternal life in Him.\u201d John 3:14\n\nWhat are you going to do with Jesus?\n\n16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God\u2019s one and only Son. John 3:16-18\n\nChoice: belief that leads to real life, or rejection, that leaves us in frustration\n\nThe truth: God looks at our world and hurts for us\n\nGave: It\u2019s pointing to the sacrifice on the cross\n\nFor He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might \nbecome the righteousness of God in Him. 2Corinthians 5:21\n\nThis is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:19-21\n\nHe was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. John 19:39\n\nWhat is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today? \nHow must you respond?
