—John 3:1-16
by: Paula Davis.
John 3:16 may be the best-known and most often quoted verse in Scripture. But sometimes we miss the context, which is so beautiful in demonstrating how we can be made new in Christ. While someone cannot return to the womb to be literally reborn, the Holy Spirit gives each of us the ability to be spiritually new—with our slates wiped clean of sin and shame. Just as Nicodemus found the concept difficult to grasp—it required faith and acceptance of an unseen gift—we may have difficulty understanding this. But we dare not miss out on this amazing blessing from God.
