John 3:1-36

At the end of chapter two we are left with Jesus knows all people. Not only does He know all people He knows what is in all people. A man named Nicodemus confronts Jesus. Nicodeumus realizes that Jesus a teacher, a teacher from God, because of the works that He is doing. However Nicodemus does not fully understand Jesus. When Jesus explains the rebirth of a believer Nicodemus relates it to the rebirth of a man from the womb, questioning what Jesus is saying. What would my response have been if I was Nicodemus?

Nicodemus must have been a teacher as well, as Jesus refers to him as such. Jesus questions the basis of the knowledge of truth with which he teaches. Seeing as he does not understand rebirth, being born again.

Jesus explains that the only way to eternity with God is through the one that descended only to ascended to heaven. He is speaking of himself Jesus.

Jesus was sent as our savior.

Our belief or lack there of, of Jesus will determine our eternal destination.

We can receive anything that has not been gifted to us from heaven, God.

It is Christ that will be emphasised, not myself or my doings.

Jesus came from above, He is above all. Have you believed on the testimony of Jesus Christ? It was through love that God sent His only Son to earth, to take on flesh.

Through belief is eternal life with Christ, unbelief is eternal separation from God. - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Yet it is the calling of the Holy Spirit that brings us to belief. So amazing God's design. We can't do it without Him in any regard. First the Holy Spirit will work in us, we shall belief which indicates eternal life with Christ and we continue to rely on Him for everything going forward.

One Application:
I am completely in awe over God. God's love for His people is so abundantly seen in scripture. Specifically in John 3 I am in awe that we have eternal life with Christ through belief but that belief is the outworking of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
