Why was John (alone among the other Gospel writers) inspired to record this dialog between Jesus and Nicodemus?
The answer begins with Verse 25 of Chapter 2, where John tells us that Jesus knew what was in man. John then proceeds to tell us about “a man”, Nicodemus, who came to see Jesus. But Jesus gets straight to the heart of the matter, because when you come to Jesus, you come not just to see, but to be seen; not just to know, but to be known.
What does it mean to be born again?
Regeneration: the Sovereign and secret act of God by which He implants new life in the soul of man.
What does it mean to see the Kingdom of heaven?
A present and a future aspect: The present aspect is to experience His Lordship now, to experience a relationship with Him now. The future aspect is to enter into Heaven when you die.
You must come to God…even as you investigate the claims of Jesus Christ…you must come knowing that you need a supernatural work from God if you're really to receive these things.
