1. Nicodemus wasn’t ready to go __________ with what he was thinking and feeling.                                                                                

John 3:1-7, “Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with Him.’  Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. How can someone be born when they are old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at My saying, “You must be born again.”’”

3. Just like you can’t experience physical life without a physical ____________, spiritual life needs a _____________________.          

John 3:9-10, 16-17 “’How can this be?’ Nicodemus asked.  ‘You are Israel’s teacher,’ said Jesus, ‘and do you not understand these things?¹⁶ 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.’” 

4. What do we need to know?      

      

   

“Believing is giving your ________ over to that which you say you believe.”
