Notes:

-"No one is beyond the need for God's grace, nor the reach of God's grace"- H.B. Charles

-Takeaway: Jesus declares new birth as the requirement for kingdom entrance.

-To recognize Jesus rightly, we see him as savior rather than teacher.

-"Jesus was telling him that entrance to God's salvation was not a matter of adding something to all his efforts, not topping off his religious devotion, but rather canceling everything and starting all over again."-John macArthur

-To relate to Jesus rightly, we have to be born of the spirit rather than the flesh.

-To reflect Jesus rightly, we seek to live a gracious life over a good life.

-Takeaway: Jesus declares new birth as the requirement for kingdom entrance and the reason for kingdom living.
