What does it actually mean to be born again? In this episode, we dive deep into John 3 and Jesus' shocking conversation with Nicodemus — the most religious man in all of Israel — to unpack the biblical doctrine of regeneration and why it changes everything about how we understand salvation.
We cover:
- Why religion is not enough to enter the kingdom of God
- What Jesus meant by being "born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:5)
- The connection between Ezekiel 36 and the New Covenant promise of a new heart
- Why the human heart — not your upbringing or circumstances — is your greatest problem
- The difference between reformation and regeneration
- Why salvation is a miracle, not a merit system
- How to know if you've truly been born again
Whether you grew up in the church, have all the right answers, and still wonder if you truly know God — or you're just beginning to ask who Jesus really is — this conversation is for you.
