NOW THERE was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader, an authority) among the Jews, Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles—and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him. Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.

BORN OF GOD - THAT YOU MAY BE AQUANITED WITH AND EXPERIENCE HIS KINGDOM 

IN CHRIST – A NEW CREATION 

TRANSLATED FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS A CHILD OF GOD

• IN BEING BORN AGAIN THERE IS A  TRANSFORMING POWER RELEASED IN YOUR HEART WHICH BREAKS EVERY RIGHT THAT THE ENEMY HAD TO CLAIM YOU AS HIS AND GIVES YOU THE RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE TO BE CHILDREN OF GOD

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

You are born of God and God has called you his Children

IN KNOWING YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD – FATHERED BY HIM 

THIS IS WHERE EVERY STRUGGLE ENDS

THIS IS WHERE FEAR ENDS 

THIS IS WHERE EVERY STRUGGLE ENDS

THIS IS WHERE DEFEATED ENDS

Colossians 2:11–15 ESV

In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
