What if the way to eternal life isn’t something you can earn—but something that must happen to you?In this sermon, Ned Brown walks through Jesus’ late-night conversation with Nicodemus in John 3:1–21, drawing out the staggering truth that spiritual rebirth—not religious effort—is the only way to enter God's kingdom. Ned explores what it means to be “born of water and the Spirit,” addresses common misconceptions about salvation, and shares the eternal significance of Christ being “lifted up” like the serpent in the wilderness.Whether you’ve grown up around church or you’re wrestling with the claims of Christ, this message offers both clarity and conviction. You’ll come away understanding not only what Jesus meant when He said “You must be born again,” but why that invitation is the most loving and life-altering call you’ll ever hear.
