Description: The Christian life is not a life of ease but a life of struggle. We struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. It is a life that demands entrance through a narrow gate and it is a daily walk along a narrow path. In our passage this morning, John doesn’t leave us discouraged but tells us that in the midst of this battle, the Christian will overcome the world.
We will be looking at three things in regards to the Christians overcoming the world:
Description: Even thought he was known as “The Teacher of Israel,” Nicodemus has his ignorance and unbelief of the scriptures exposed by Jesus. The truth that Jesus taught to Nicodemus and teaches the world today is “believe”.
Description: Nicodemus has his religious world turned upside down as Jesus reinforces His teaching that he must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God!
Description: Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader, came to Jesus with questions. As he complemented Jesus and acknowledged His miracles, wisdom, and that He was from God, Jesus challenged him. He told him that he must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God!
Description: The climax of the prologue brings us the news of staggering truth. The “Word”, the agent of creation, has become a creature to dwell in this world as we do.
Description: Christians live to do the will of God and fulfill the obligation of holiness, love, and service in the power of the Holy Spirit — and thus bring glory to God.
Description: To be armed with the mind of Christ is to be equipped with the most powerful weapon available to Christians. With the right attitude toward sin a Christian will prevail until the end.
