March 8, 2026 - John 3:1-13 - New Birth Explained


Listen Later

No matter how good, moral, or religious we try to be, our own efforts are never enough to earn our way into the Kingdom of God.

In week seven of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood looks at one of the most famous conversations in the Bible: Jesus’ late-night encounter with a religious leader named Nicodemus. In this passage, Jesus shatters the idea of behavior modification and introduces the radical necessity of spiritual transformation.

This week, we break down this essential text through two main truths:

  • Mankind is Inadequate (v.1-2): Even the most educated and devout rule-keepers fall short of God's standard on their own merit.

  • Mankind Must Be Born Again (v.3-13): Jesus explains the profound, spiritual reality that true life only comes through a completely new birth from above, brought about by the Holy Spirit.
