Do you need a new start or something more? Most people know they need to change. We tell ourselves we need to stop losing our temper, quit the secret sins no one else knows about, or finally get our act together. But Jesus tells Nicodemus in John 3 that real change isn’t about trying harder or cleaning yourself up. Real change comes from the Holy Spirit. It’s not something you achieve; it’s something you receive. In this passage, we’ll see that change in Christ begins with new birth, is rooted in belief, and brings new life. The question is, have you experienced that kind of change, or are you still just trying to manage your sin on your own?
