    Jesus Encounters Nicodemus - Born Again (Click here for Resources)

    Passage: John 3:1-17

    Speaker: Brian Land

    Series: Encounters with Jesus

    Category: Grace Brevard

    Keywords: salvation, transformed, renewed, rebirth

    The phrase “born again” needs to be reclaimed and renewed back to the shocking beauty Jesus intended. Each of us have been born in the flesh, corrupted by sin. Jesus was “lifted up” (Jn 3:14) to pay for and heal us from our sins, offering us a second birth, but this one by the Spirit so that we are no longer corrupt but re-made in his image. Before Christ sin has power and presence; in Christ sin has no power, but still has presence; in glory sin has neither power nor presence. So in Christ we are truly a new creation (2 Cor 5:17) with a new Abba Father with a new character, heart, power and inheritance.
