Basic Scripture:
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (John 3:5 NKJV)
Message:
John 3:5 is a well-known Bible verse that addresses the concept of entering the kingdom of God. It is part of a conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a religious leader who came to Jesus seeking spiritual understanding.
The response given by Jesus is significant and reveals important truths about entering the kingdom of God; Born of water and Spirit.
The phrase “born of water” denoted water baptism. Baptism in water is a symbol of taking part Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection; It represents your new life as a Christian. We bury the old life when immersed and rise to walk in a new life.
To enter into the kingdom of God, you need to be baptized both physically and Spiritually into Christ.
