Ezekiel 36:25-28, NIV • 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. • 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. • 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.

  6. John 3:1-15, NLT Born again to enter the kingdom of God

  7. Physical rebirth? No way! • 1 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. 2 After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.” • 3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” • 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

  8. Spiritual rebirth? Yes way! • 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. • 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. 7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ • 8 The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” • 9 “How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked.

  9. Jesus…The sure source of information! • 10 Jesus replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? • 11 I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony. • 12 But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things? • 13 No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven.

  10. The Son of Man…The only way! • 14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, • 15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. Numbers 21:4-9

  11. Messages to bottle up 1 • 1. Spiritual heart transplant needed for spiritual heart failure… • Heart of stone replaced by heart of flesh. • 2. Spiritual rebirth needed for entering God’s kingdom… • Holy spirit cleanses like the water and works like the wind.

  12. Messages to bottle up 2 • 3. Faith in Jesus Christ needed to believe heavenly things… • The Son of Man, the only one from heaven, is the sure source of information. • 4. The bitten Israelites look at lifted bronze snake to live… • The sinners look at the lifted Son of Man to be saved.
