Jesus makes himself known to Nicodemus as "The Light". And as we will find there are some that hate the Light and there are others that love the Light.

There are those that believe that they are living in a time that God is weighing their good works against their bad and that in the future God will cry out a verdict. Yet, scripture teaches that a future verdict is not going to be made but a verdict has already been made, a verdict by the way that can be reversed by placing faith in Jesus.

Jesus shares with Nicodemus that he did not come to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through him.

After shocking Nicodemus with the statement that God will save whoever believes, Jesus explains this for Nicodemus.

The shocking truth is made to Nicodemus that eternal life is for "Whoever" believes.

In the text today we see that Jesus makes it very clear to Nicodemus that one must believe in Messiah for salvation.

Jesus tells Nicodemus that true faith in Jesus does something that works could never do and that is faith brings about a changed life for all to see.

Even though there will be those times that someone will say no to the Gospel, the Christian continues to share.

The conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus has two parts. Part one focuses on the sovereignty of God and part two focuses on belief. Today David takes us to the second part of the conversation as Jesus brings up the unbelief of Nicodemus.
