John 3:1 - 3:12

Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg reflects on John chapters 2 and 3, where Jesus performs signs and Nicodemus, a Pharisee of the Jewish ruling council, seeks to understand the meaning of being "born again." Gregg argues that being "born of water" refers to natural birth, while being "born of the Spirit" refers to a new life in Christ. He emphasizes the importance of one's character and reputation, particularly in terms of demonstrating signs from God. Gregg ultimately asserts that the testimony of Jesus about earthly and heavenly things must be trusted, even if they defy human understanding.
