Nicodemus believed that his goodness was enough, but he still needed re-birth in the Spirit. Our spirits, too, must be re-born, because of sin in our lives. Every one of us fails. We all violate God’s will and character. God, however, wants us to escape the spiritual death caused by our sins. By sending His Son Jesus, God opens the door for our sins to be forgiven so that we can enjoy eternal life with Him.
Memory Verses

2) John 3:20 – For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
3) Matthew 25:41 – Then he will say to those on his left, “Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”
Great Judge, we know all too well about our own weaknesses and failings. We need to be freed from our sins. We try sometimes to do the right things, but we feel helpless. We need Your help. Great Savior, let us see who we really are, and let us be ready for You to rescue us. Thank You for reaching out to help us!
