• #140 - Joby Martin // Born Again: Understanding True Salvation

  Jesus meets Nicodemus where he is—confused about salvation—and patiently explains that eternal life isn't achieved through works but received through spiritual rebirth.• Nicodemus approaches Jesus at night with questions about entering God's kingdom• Jesus tells Nicodemus he must be "born again" to see the kingdom of God• Nicodemus misunderstands, thinking in physical rather than spiritual terms• Jesus explains that spiritual birth comes through water and the Spirit, not human effort• Unlike other religions where humans must ascend to God, Christianity reveals God who descended to us• Just as newborns don't work to be born, salvation is received rather than achieved• Religious people often struggle with grace, believing they must earn salvation• The gospel is not that we first loved God but that God first loved usIf you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.Support the showWant to connect?
