Student Choice 1

Choice #4. 

John 3.  We must be born again.

1.    -  In order to enter the Kingdom of God, we must be “born again.”  To do this, we must be baptized in the name of Christ, with the right authority, or God’s priesthood. 
2.     - Christ taught Nicodemus that he must be baptized.  Born of water means to be baptized by immersion, not just by sprinkling, or any other means. 
3.       -Baptism is a symbol of rebirth because you are literally spiritually reborn because as you go down and come up out of the water, you are spiritually cleansed.  You are spiritually as clean as you were the moment you were born.  Baptism is also a symbol of death because it symbolizes us going down into our grave, and being resurrected.  
4.    -  The Lord compares the Spirit to dust. 

God loves the whole world.  God gave his only begotten son for his children.  He allowed his son to atone for the sins of the world.  He allowed his son to suffer for the rest of his children.  Those who believe in Christ will have everlasting life.
