The Universal Need
unless, unless, YOU MUST v3-7
jn 6:
Jesus was not speaking of the Communion Supper, but rather of the coming in faith that is on display when His church serves the Supper
There is much more than a mere recommendation.
This is not about your best life; this is about having life as opposed to death; eternal life and eternal dying.
No one is exempt
Do not turn away from this message thinking it is not for you, because it is.
There is no exemption.
The need for salvation falls on everyone who is born into this world.
There is no middle ground; Kingdom of God, or sinful rebellion
There is no such thing as someone who doesn’t need Jesus as Savior, only those who have been born again and those who have not
I know that some people will say of young children that they don’t yet need Jesus, but I maintain such a statement is never found in scripture.
Children need Jesus from the point of conception, which is why we pray for mom and baby as soon as we hear the announcement and in some cases before.
Inasmuch as I believe the young and mentally incompetent are covered by grace, that grace is secured by none other than Jesus.
So I say again, there are only those who have been and have not been born again.
If you have not been born again, when you are awakened to your sin and drawn to Christ you MUST believe to be born again.
There are no exceptions.
The Personal Reality
Take it from those who know
jn 3:
Jesus is the Son of Man who descended from Heaven.
The Bible is God’s Holy Word for us.
We are the people who have experienced saving grace
Births happen one at a time, even multiples
Jacob was holding Esau’s ankle - the older shall serve the younger
Just like the wind
Salvation is a very personal thing.
The Spirit of God continues to lead and bear witness throughout the life of the believer, and inasmuch as we may have questions, I believe that everyone born again feels this wind blowing from time to time.
Have you felt the breath of God? Lately?
The Clear Delineation
Nicodemus is lacking
Nicodemus is a religious man, a Pharisee
Nicodemus is a ruler in the community
Jesus says YOU must be born again
All the believing
All, not whoever
πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων - 1238 instances of pas; all meaning every or all
The efficacy of the sending of Jesus, that He would live and die and be raised for us is so certain as to guarantee above any other promise ever made the final and eternal salvation for every soul who believes without fail.
So, nothing else is required - all the believing
What else could you add?
Your end is not in danger, Christ loses none
When God says all believers, He means all without exception.
Child of God rest easy in the security of Christ’s claim on you forever.
The Unbelievers
The verdict has already been passed
The fault is your own
If you are here, it’s not too late
In this, the most famous conversation, we find clear instruction for all, great comfort for believers, and clear warning for unbelievers.
May God bless His People with blessed assurance and felt peace today, and may He through this message, and the visible proclamation in the Lord’s Supper draw sinners to faith in Jesus to the saving of their souls.
