To Remember: Baptism (being born again) is necessary for salvation

Vocabulary

• Baptism: immersion in water for forgiveness

Lesson - Read John 3:1-6; 16

Nicodemus was a Jewish leader who had seen the miracles Jesus had done. He believed that Jesus had the power and approval of God, but was afraid to be seen with Jesus in daylight. He came to the Lord at night instead. Jesus told him that in order to see God, one must be born again. Nicodemus did not understand. How could a grown man or woman become a baby again? He was thinking physically. Jesus was talking about spiritual rebirth.
