WORD
“Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”” John 3:3 ESV
The Bible says that we must be born again in order to see the kingdom of God. It is not merely an act of fulfilling religious duties or trying to earn salvation by our own strength. We need to be born again. In the message it was shared that we need to be born again into a new authority of what you think of God, born again into a new foundation of righteousness, and born again from a new life within. Share with the group about what this means for you.
APPLICATION
Ask yourselves, do you find yourselves at times identifying with the group that “can’t believe”-those that had a fleeting, temporary faith, or those that have “superficial faith”-going through the motions but not truly believing?
Discuss as a group how the answer is found in John chapter 3. If there is anyone who has not been born again, pray for the person to truly come to faith in Jesus.
PRAYER
Prays for those that you know who need to encounter Jesus and be born again into new life. Pray and share as a group about how you would like to to share who Jesus is to the person during this week.
Ask God to transform you by renewing your mind. Pray that you would know and love God more and more every day.
