A new thought
There was a man named Nicodemus who asked these same questions. He was a religious leader who kept all the practices of the Law, yet he still wondered how a person truly could be made right with God.
Nicodemus brought these questions to Jesus, who had been teaching and performing miracles. He knew Jesus had been sent by God for a purpose.
We all yearn for reassurance.
We want a promise that we can hold onto when we begin to doubt if our actions are deserving of paradise.
We need hope.
