What does it actually mean to be born again? In this episode, we dive deep into John 3 and Jesus' shocking conversation with Nicodemus — the most religious man in all of Israel — to unpack the biblical doctrine of regeneration and why it changes everything about how we understand salvation.We cover:Why religion is not enough to enter the kingdom of GodWhat Jesus meant by being "born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:5)The connection between Ezekiel 36 and the New Covenant promise of a new heartWhy the human heart — not your upbringing or circumstances — is your greatest problemThe difference between reformation and regenerationWhy salvation is a miracle, not a merit systemHow to know if you've truly been born againWhether you grew up in the church, have all the right answers, and still wonder if you truly know God — or you're just beginning to ask who Jesus really is — this conversation is for you.📖 Key Scriptures: John 3:1–8 | Ezekiel 36:24–27 | Titus 3:5 | Ephesians 2 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Jeremiah 17:9This episode is sponsored by The Master's University.
