ANOTHER KIND OF BIRTH

There was a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a Jewish leader. One night he went to JESUS and said, "Sir, we know that God has sent you to teach us. You could not work these miracle, unless God were with you" Jesus replied, "I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God's kingdom. Nicodemus asked, "How can a grown man ever be born a second time?" Jesus answered: "I tell you for certain that before you can get into God's kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Spirit. Humans give life to their children. Yet only God's Spirit can change you into a child of God. Don'tbe surprised when I say that you must be born from above. Only God's Spirit gives new life. "God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! No one who has faith in God's Son will be condemned. "The light has come into the world, and people who do evil things are judged guilty because they love the dark more than the light and won't come to the light,because it clearly shows what they have done"
