[esvignore]John 3:1-21 – In this text we observe Jesus teaching Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, about the need for all people to be born again, as a prerequisite to their being able to enter (or even see) the kingdom of God. We delve into many other texts to better understand this teaching from Jesus, because your understanding of the rest of the Bible ultimately hinges on your understanding of what it means to be born again, and how it happens (monergism vs. synergism). After this teaching, Jesus explains to Nicodemus the Gospel message, in His own words, including the well known verse, John 3:16. [/esvignore]
