This is our first 7 Minute Quest podcast. The word "quest" stirs thoughts about a search for truth or understanding or an adventure. A quest is the kind of story that’s filled with heroes and trusted guides, failures and victories. You may be thinking that seven minutes isn't enough time to flesh out an idea, but sometimes brevity is best.
This Week's Question:
Is coming to faith, becoming a believer in God through Jesus Christ, best defined as a moment in time or more accurately part of a larger process?
When Jesus talks with Nicodemus about being “born again”, having “eternal life” and “that the world might be saved through Him”, what does He mean? Is salvation intended to be a one-time acknowledgement of Christ that covers our sin for all time, assuring us of eternal life, or is there also a broader process that the Lord intends for each of us as a life-long focus?
This Week's Foundational Scripture:
John 3:1-3, 14-17 (ESV)
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
( Later in the conversation Jesus tells him:)
14 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
