FAMILY THEME: JESUS OFFERS NEW LIFE

John 3:1-21

John 3 focuses on salvation - Jesus explained that you must be born

again, that God so loved the world, and that faith in Him is the key to

receiving eternal life.

1.  All People, Even the Very Religious, Must Be Born Again

     (John 3:1-8)

     Being born again is a spiritual transformation from above through

     the work of the Holy Spirit.

 
2.  Jesus, the Son of Man, Came to Die in Our Place

     (John 3:9-15)

     Christ was lifted up on a cross to provide salvation to all who took

     to Him in faith.

 
3.  Jesus Did Not Come to Condemn, but to Redeem

     (John 3:16-21)

     God's love motivated Him to give His Son to pay the penalty for our

     sins.
