That Which Is Born of the Spirit Is Spirit …
The Role of the Holy Spirit in Conversion
Something has to happen if we are to be saved from the wrath of God. We must be profoundly changed.

The mindset of the new creation does not just agree that Christ died for sinners; it glories in the cross.
In that terrible moment when we see ourselves standing guilty before the Almighty, nothing shines forth but the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus seems more eager to explode the false assurance of faith than he is to give assurance to people who are intent on living in sin.
The whole concept of slavery as we know it is blown out of the water when God becomes the “Slavemaster.”
Christianity is not merely believing a set of ideas about Christ’s love. It is an experience of being constrained by that love.
Our response to being born again and being given a living hope and an imperishable inheritance in heaven should be to bless God.
The call of God creates what it commands.
With God all things are possible. That is the basis of our prayer and our giving and our evangelism.
God takes the initiative to cause a person to love him, and he takes the initiative to keep them to the end.
Conversion is when something supernatural happens in a sinner's heart that causes him to want Jesus more than anything else.
Christ has both the power and the excellence to make himself known by opening the eyes of the blind to his beauty.
Listen to John Piper clarify how people come to believe in Jesus.
Being "born again" means something very different than how many understand that phrase today.
What is it about being born again that saves us?
Being born again is not the improvement of your old nature but the creation of a new one.
Why do some who are “dead in trespasses and sins” come to believe and some do not?
What do we need that new birth gives us?
The new birth does not give us a mere temporary resuscitation. It gives indestructible, imperishable life.
New birth is God's kindness, philanthropy, and mercy to us. It has nothing to do with even our best deeds.
Our believing does not cause new birth. The new birth causes our belief.
John Piper says that understanding the role of good works in our salvation is really significant.
John Piper shares how our understanding of the new birth affects evangelism.
What does Jesus mean by comparing himself to the bronze snake Moses raised in Numbers 21?
