Introduction: Have you ever thought about what it means to be born again? If you have, you’re in the bright company of an intelligent man named Nicodemus. Jesus told him during a twilight visit that he needed to be born again in order to be included in the Kingdom of God. Jesus also said that the only way to be born again was to believe in Jesus, God’s Son, making a life commitment to the cross. The one focus this morning is: Are you born again?
