Chapter 14
Nicodemus
Nicodemus belonged to a group of Jews called Pharisees. He was also a ruler of the Jews. Many Pharisees did not believe that Jesus Christ was sent by God. But Nicodemus believed because of the miracles Jesus did.
Nicodemus came to talk with the Savior one night. Jesus told him that no one could enter the kingdom of God without being born again.
Nicodemus did not understand. How could a person be born again? The Savior explained that He was talking about spiritual things. To be born again, a person must be baptized in water and receive the Holy Ghost.
Jesus explained that He had been sent to earth to help us all return to Heavenly Father. He said that He would suffer for our sins and die on a cross so that we could have eternal life.
He said that we need to believe in Him and choose the right. If we do what is right, we will live forever in the kingdom of God.
