5 Йоан - Нов живот (учителENG)

Jesus and Nicodemus

John 3:1-21

What does real faith look like? (3:3-8)

• Nicodemus wanted to talk about the LAW
• Jesus talked about a New Birth
• Jesus compared this new birth to the wind
• Real faith is not some outward event but and inward one.  
• Real faith is meant to be experienced.

How is real faith put into practice? (3:9-16)

• The first step to real faith is to believe in Jesus – to experience a new birth, however the New Birth must be put into practice. 
• Jesus talks about a very interesting example from Numbers 21:4–9
• Religion wants rules and regulations, but real faith requires only that we focus on Jesus.
• Ask yourself, how much am I focusing on Jesus?  Is Jesus the focus of my life or is Jesus one small part of my life?

What is the alternative to real faith? (3:17-21)

• God sent His son, not to judge the world, but to save it.
•   Why do people reject God’s offer of a new life, or real faith?
• They are afraid of not being perfect.
• Real faith is not about judgment, but it gives us the freedom to live as God has created us.
