Today’s Devotional
In this passage, Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus, a Pharisee and religious leader who comes to Jesus at night seeking understanding. Jesus tells Nicodemus that spiritual rebirth is essential for entering the kingdom of God. The concept of being “born again” signifies a radical transformation in our lives, where we experience a renewed relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. This spiritual rebirth is the work of the Holy Spirit, who brings new life to our hearts and enables us to live as God’s children.
Time to reflect
Reflect on the concept of spiritual rebirth and how it applies to your own life. Consider the following questions:
- Have you experienced spiritual rebirth through faith in Jesus Christ? If so, how has this transformation impacted your life?
- How can you nurture your relationship with God and continue to grow in your faith journey?
- In what ways can you share the message of spiritual rebirth with others and encourage them to experience this life-changing relationship with Jesus?
