PHASE 2 — MAKE YOURSELF BELIEVE
Assurance of Eternal Life : John 3:1–21
Days 5–8
Introduction
Following Jesus brings proximity. Belief brings transformation.
Nicodemus came to Jesus curious, informed, and religious — yet Jesus told him something startling: You must be born again.
Belief is not agreement with information. Belief is surrender of identity.
Many men attempt behavior change without identity change. But resilience rooted in performance eventually collapses.
This week establishes the foundation every disciple must stand on:
You are not becoming someone new through effort.
You are living from what Christ has already made you.
FORMATION GOAL:
Establish Identity in Christ
DAY 5 — BORN AGAIN
HOLY IN SPIRIT
Read Scripture: John 3:1–8 Read slowly twice.
Reflect: What confused Nicodemus? What does Jesus say is required for new life?
Spend time thanking God for salvation rather than asking for improvement.
Pray Over Family: Pray out loud with and over your spouse and children
WHOLE IN MIND
Read 10 pages or for 15 mins from your selected book.
Reflect: What truth reminds me who I am in Christ?
HEALTHY IN BODY
Exercise for 30 Minutes.
Drink water consistently throughout the day.
Practice awareness of physical stewardship.
BROTHERHOOD
Share with your 2x2 Team: One way God has changed your life since following Him.
Reflection
Do I live like someone trying to earn God’s approval or someone who already has it?
