The Divine Summons (John 3:1-10)
Summary
This sermon highlights the necessity of being "born again," a theme introduced in John chapter 3 with Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus. It emphasizes that this spiritual rebirth, like the resurrection of Lazarus, is a divine and monergistic work of the Holy Spirit, initiated by God's call. The takeaway is that our salvation is not a result of human effort but a powerful, irresistible divine summons into God's family and kingdom, as further explained by Romans 8.
