经文 Scripture: John 3:1-21

Discussion Questions

1. Jesus describes being born again as being born of “water and the Spirit.” These represent both the inward faith and outward profession as a Christian, which begins at baptism. Why is it important for a Christian to experience new birth both inwardly and outwardly?

2. Being born is a start of a new life, yet many Christians are tempted to stop growing after being born again as Christians. What must a Christian do to grow healthily inwardly and outwardly after being born again?

3. In your own Christian journey, when have you seen your inward faith result in the outward Christian life, and so experience the power of the Holy Spirit working and transforming in your life? Have you continued to see this kind of workings? Why or why not?
