Dr. Adrian Todd So that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31

Born from Above We have been looking at John’s Gospel in order to see who Jesus is. We have been using John 1 as a description of Jesus, which is then expanded in the rest of the Gospel. Chapters 2-11 Jesus’ Ministry -7 signs -7+ “I AM” statements Dr. Adrian Todd -

God’s New Family Children of Abraham according to the Spirit (faith) not according to the flesh John 3:3 unless one is born from above (again) he cannot (even) see the Kingdom of God (let alone get into it) Jesus gives the right to become children of God (John 1:12-13) Dr. Adrian Todd -

Born of Water v5 Born of water, generally thought baptism Baptism deals with the flesh -we die to the flesh, the “old man” dies -you cannot be made to pay for a crime when you are dead Later in the chapter v22, we find Jesus baptising It is an issue of purification v25 Dr. Adrian Todd -

Born of the Spirit Dr. Adrian Todd Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit Luke 1:35 Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit Matthew 1:20 Jesus is the fore-runner of a new humanity, a new race, born of the Spirit Jesus connects heaven and earth, he makes it possible to transfer from flesh to Spirit

New Birth, New creation Born of the Spirit, new birth, new life -if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation 2 Cor 5:17 -new birth, new life Being born of the Spirit, means all the things of the flesh no longer matter -In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free man, male nor female Gal 3:28 Dr. Adrian Todd -

Jesus is lifted up v14 Dr. Adrian Todd The bronze snake in the desert Num 21:5-8 Looking to the Cross in faith John 1:29 the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world Our response to Jesus determines our ultimate destiny v17 v36 believing brings life, disobedience brings wrath (anger)

God so loved v16 Dr. Adrian Todd Knowing the Love of God is a matter of life and death God wants us to have eternal LIFE, and not perish v16 The anger of God is a consequence of His love Jesus was sent into the world to be lifted up -to save the world v17 -not judge it -we make the judgement for ourselves v18

Dr. Adrian Todd “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened. ” ― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce C.S. LewisThe Great Divorce

Increase and Decrease Dr. Adrian Todd He must increase but I must decrease v30 The increase of Jesus in our lives starts with dying to self “Die before you die, there is no chance after.” If we live (were conceived) by the Spirit, let us also walk (live our lives) by the Spirit Galatians 5:25 love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control Gal 5:22

“God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity C.S. LewisMere Christianity Dr. Adrian Todd -
