Jesus meets Nicodemus where he is—confused about salvation—and patiently explains that eternal life isn't achieved through works but received through spiritual rebirth.

• Nicodemus approaches Jesus at night with questions about entering God's kingdom
• Jesus tells Nicodemus he must be "born again" to see the kingdom of God
• Nicodemus misunderstands, thinking in physical rather than spiritual terms
• Jesus explains that spiritual birth comes through water and the Spirit, not human effort
• Unlike other religions where humans must ascend to God, Christianity reveals God who descended to us
• Just as newborns don't work to be born, salvation is received rather than achieved
• Religious people often struggle with grace, believing they must earn salvation
• The gospel is not that we first loved God but that God first loved us
