Can you believe in Jesus as a great teacher but still be lost? Nicodemus came to Jesus acknowledging His miracles and divine authority—yet Jesus told him he couldn't even see the kingdom without being born again. This penetrating message exposes the danger of "easy believism" that skips over the uncomfortable truth: you must first recognize yourself as condemned, undone, a sinner needing the Lamb of God who takes away sin. Discover why the "water" of John 3:5 likely points to Calvary's cleansing blood, why no amount of information will save you without a leap of faith, and what it means that unbelievers are "already condemned"—not neutral, but facing certain judgment. If you've ever wondered whether your belief in Jesus is genuine, struggled with needing "more information" before committing, or questioned how anyone can truly understand salvation, this honest exploration of John 3 cuts through religious comfort to reveal what being born from above actually requires.
