Episode notes
Salvation Is Received, Not Achieved
- Salvation is received through faith, not achieved by works or effort.
- Nicodemus misunderstands this concept despite being a religious teacher.
Bronze Serpent Illustrates Inner Healing
- Jesus uses the Old Testament story of Moses lifting the bronze serpent to illustrate salvation by faith.
- Like snake venom inside, sin is an internal poison needing inner healing through Jesus, not external fixes.
Sin Is an Internal Issue
- Humanity is born with sin like venom running through veins, not just flawed behavior.
