In these passages is the account of a Pharisee, Nicodemus, conversing with Jesus at night, seeking God’s Truths. Jesus told him that a person cannot enter the Kingdom of God unless they are ‘born again,’ born of the Spirit.

A person is born of the Spirit when they repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ. They are then given the Spirit of God to be within them. But like a baby, they are not immediately given knowledge and understanding. They must rather grow in the Spirit, just as a baby grows in body and mind.

Born-again believers are given a hunger for God’s Truths. They become inspired to read and study the Bible, which is the Word of God. Hence, they are guided into all righteousness and taught by God’s Holy Spirit in how to live.

The Bible says that believers are given the Fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These valuable characteristics grow in the believer. Believers live a rich and full life and will enter God’s Kingdom when they die.
