There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that you art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it lists, and you hears the sound thereof, but canst not tell where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a master of Israel, and knows not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man have ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he have not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that do evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that do truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
John 3:1-22
The great piece of the puzzle: Who so ever it be that believes in the gospel shall be saved. But everyone must believe for himself or herself; you must be born again. You came here alone, so you must receive Jesus as your personal Savior alone...Jesus died for all but you must believe for yourself, you must be born again...not as a group...but afterwards you will be a group in the family of God...Amen.
When I was a child, I wondered why the Lord died for our sins, and we were still sinning; now I understand my child-self wondering why I was still sinning, not as a group or as a family, but for myself. I had to get the message (revelation from God) for myself of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Father had to draw me into repentance, and had to reveal His Holy Son in me...Amen.
