Insight (Week 2) - Coming Home (John 3:1-16)

John 3:1-16 (NIV) 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said,
"Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could
perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." 3 In reply
Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless
he is born again." 4 "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus
asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be
born!" 5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of
God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the
Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must
be born again.' 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but
you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone
born of the Spirit." 9 "How can this be?" Nicodemus asked. 10 "You are Israel's
teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand these things? 11 I tell you the
truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still
you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly
things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly
things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from
heaven–the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so
the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in him may
have eternal life. 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.

The main point: A right relationship with God isn't based on what you do.
It's based on faith in the One who did everything for you.
