About This Message
Working through Nicodemus's nighttime visit in John 3:1-21, Pastor Addison contrasts two ways people try to enter God's kingdom: striving through good works and religious standing, which fails, and trusting Christ, pictured in Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilderness. He explains that seeing the kingdom requires being born again rather than earned by effort, and closes by reminding believers God's love was never something to earn.
Key Takeaways
- Being religious or moral cannot earn entrance into God's kingdom.
- New birth by the Spirit is required to see the kingdom.
- Like Israel looking to the bronze serpent, we're saved by trusting Christ.
