Nicodemus and The New Birth, God's Salvation, The Continuing Ministry Of John The Baptist.
The New Birth And God's Salvation (John 3:1-21).
When Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin, comes to Jesus he learns that he needs to be ‘born from above', that is, that he must be born of the Spirit (compare John 1:12-13), if he would enter under the Kingly Rule of God. He then learns that this salvation will only be accomplished through the death of ‘the Son of Man', God's only Son, in Whom he must believe if he would have eternal life.
