God is not a God of confusion. HE IS NOT A MYSTERY. Do you think Trinity is Mystery? well, that means, you don't know who is the ONE TRUE GOD. I John 5:20
Jesus proclaims to his disciples that he has overcome the world. The world is the Satanic way of thinking that has corrupted this world. Jesus helps us to understand that through the work of the Holy Spirit the world is convicted concerning sin, righteousness and judgment. When we believe in Jesus we can have forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and we overcome the world through him.
Pastor Jimmy presses in on the undeniable grace of God. We see this through Jonah hitting the bottom of himself to experience the full salvation of God.
God brings us to the bottom of ourselves to AWAKEN us. (1-6)
God brings us to the bottom of ourselves to DELIVER us. (7-8)
God brings us to the bottom of ourselves to RESTORE us. (9-10)

We circle the verse John 3:16 to discover it's meaning in context with the chapter. In the process we reveal an important lesson for Nicodemus and us about belief.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.
2. John3:1-3
1 Now there was a man of the Phariseesnamed Nicodemus, a ruler of
the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by nightand said to him,“Rabbi, we know
thatyou are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs
thatyou do unlessGodis withhim.”
3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unlessone is born
againhe cannotsee the kingdom of God.”
3. John3:4-6
4 Nicodemus saidto him, “How can a man be born when he isold?
Can he enter a secondtime intohis mother's womb andbe born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unlessone isborn of
water and the Spirit,he cannotenter the kingdom of God.
6 Thatwhich isborn of the fleshis flesh, and thatwhich isborn of the
Spiritis spirit.
4. John3:7-9
7 Do not marvel that I saidto you, ‘Youmust be bornagain.’
8 The windblows where it wishes, andyouhear its sound, butyou
do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with
everyone who is born ofthe Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus saidto him, “How can these thingsbe?”
5. John3:10-12
10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel andyet you do
notunderstandthese things?
11 Truly, truly, I say to you,we speak ofwhatwe know, andbear
witness towhat we have seen, butyou donot receive our testimony.
12 If I have told youearthly thingsand you do notbelieve, how can
you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
6. John3:13-15
13 Noonehas ascended into heaven except hewho
descendedfrom heaven, the Sonof Man.
14 And as Moses liftedup the serpent inthe wilderness, so
must the Sonof Man belifted up,
15 that whoever believesin himmay have eternal life.
7. Review
You must be born againto go to Heaven.
We must place our faithin Christ. Only the righteousness of Christ can justify us and
protect us from the wrath of God.
We cannot cause the new birth, but God can. Callon Him.
New birth means new life. We are a new creation with a new relationship, not a new
religion.
Jesus is the life. Apart from Him, we are nothing. Live for Him!
8. Invitation
For Godso loved the world,
thathe gave his only Son,
thatwhoever believes in him
shouldnotperish
buthave eternal life.
John 3:16
Editor's Notes
John 3:1 Ruler of the Jews refers to a member of the Jewish governing body called the Sanhedrin.
John 3:2 Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night, which usually carries a symbolic overtone of spiritual darkness elsewhere in John (9:4; 11:10; 13:30; but not 21:3). Coming from the “teacher of Israel” (3:10), the addressRabbi (meaning “teacher”) denotes respect, especially since it was known that Jesus did not have formal rabbinic training (cf. 7:15). The signs presumably include many miracles performed by Jesus in Jerusalem (cf. 2:23).
John 3:3–6 This discussion of the need for spiritual rebirth further develops the earlier reference to the “children of God” who are “born of God” (1:12–13; cf. 8:39–58; 11:51–52). The phrase born of water and the Spirit in 3:5 refers to spiritual birth, which cleanses from sin and brings spiritual transformation and renewal. Water here does not refer to the water of physical birth, nor is it likely that it refers to baptism. The background is probablyEzek. 36:25–27, where God promises, “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean. … And I will give you a new heart. … And I will put my Spirit within you.” For further discussion of being born again, see 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1, 4, 18. The kingdom of God, a major topic in the other Gospels, is mentioned in John only in 3:3, 5 (see the reference to Jesus’ kingdom in John 18:36).
John 3:7–8 The change from singular to plural in I said to you [singular], “You [plural] must be born again,” probably is meant to include Nicodemus and his fellow Sanhedrin members (cf. “we” in v. 2), but the plural also carries broader application to all people: everyone “must be born again.” Wind and Spirit translate the same Greek and Hebrew words.
John 3:10 As a prominent teacher (the teacher of Israel), Nicodemus should be able to understand Jesus, since this new life is like the resurrection depicted inEzekiel 37 and the new heart in Deut. 30:6; Jer. 31:33; and Ezek. 36:26.
John 3:11–12 Earthly things probably refers to Jesus’ teaching about the new birth, which takes place in a person’s life on earth. If Nicodemus as a teacher cannot even understand this, then Jesus cannot convey deeper truths to him. You is plural (in Gk.) in the second instance in v. 11, and all four times in v. 12.
John 3:13 Ascended into heaven probably means “entered into the counsels of God in heaven and remained there.” When Jesus descended from heaven it does not mean that in his omnipresent, divine personhood he completely left all fellowship with the Father, but rather that the focus of his activity became his earthly life as one who was now both God and man.
John 3:14 The reference to the Son of Man being lifted up is the first of three “lifted up” sayings in John’s Gospel (cf. 8:28; 12:32). All three sayings speak of the future “lifting up” of the Son of Man in a typical Johannine double meaning (see notes on 4:10; 8:24; 11:50–51; 19:19; cf. also 3:7–8), so that it refers to both Jesus’ death and his resurrection and exaltation to glory in heaven (cf. Acts 2:33; 5:31). Regarding the serpent in the wilderness, see Num. 21:9; but cf. Isa. 52:13 also.
