Summary
To enter the Kingdom of God, one must be born again through faith in Jesus Christ, achieved by believing in His sacrifice on the cross, which grants eternal life. True discipleship involves more than belief; it requires living in the light, obeying Jesus, and openly declaring our faith. Nicodemus’ journey from a secret seeker to a public supporter of Jesus exemplifies this transformative process. Jesus calls us not only to believe but to live out our faith boldly, becoming His friends through our obedience and trustworthiness.
