Thursday night:

Read John 3: 13 – 16

In verse 13 Jesus says he is the only one that has done what?

V 14 go read Numbers 21 and focus on v 9. What happened in that O.T, account? How does that apply to Jesus – make a connection to the people of Numbers 21 and the snake on a pole with Jesus and us. If we have been born again, we can say the curse of ……… has been taken on by Christ and the disease of sin in our heart has been ……….? This is the gospel message.

V 15 – 16 – If the gospel is given in v 14, then to be born again means that the individual must simply do what with it.

Believeth means the present tense believe. Believe means to trust and commit. How can I know that I have been born again. This is very important because too many today say, “I hope so, I think so, well I am doing my best!” Jesus says all one has to do is what?
