John 3:3, 7 – In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...You should not be surprised at my saying ‘You must be born again.’” Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us saying, “You must be born again.” In this lesson you should learn: A. Why we need to be saved. B. How God has provided for our salvation. C. How we can have that salvation personally.
It is a comfort to know that God intends for us to be sure of our salvation. He simply wants us to have faith, trusting Him and believing He will do everything He said. In this lesson you should learn: A. God is faithful and keeps His promises. B. He promises us eternal life. C. We obtain His promises by faith. D. We can know we have the eternal life He promises.
Acts 1:4-5 – On one occasion, while He was eating with them, He gave this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Jesus did not want His disciples to immediately begin telling others about Him. He told them to wait for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, because He knew the POWER they were to receive was essential for the task ahead of them.
