Purpose
To help class members understand that to receive everlasting life, we must be “born again” and continue to follow Jesus Christ.- Jesus told Nicodemus that “except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). What does it mean to be born again? (See the scripture chain in this section.)
- Read and ponder Alma 5:14–31 as if Alma were speaking to you. What do you need to do personally to be “spiritually … born of God”? (Alma 5:14).
- Jesus told the Samaritan woman that he could give her “living water” (John 4:10). What do you think “living water” means? (See 1 Nephi 11:25; D&C 63:23.) How can we obtain living water? How has this living water blessed you?
Suggestion for Family Discussion
Give
each family member a drinking glass. Pour water into each glass, and
invite family members to drink the water. Ask family members if they
think they will ever need another drink of water. Then read John 4:1–15,
and discuss the questions in the third paragraph of this section.
Testify that if we will come to Christ and live his gospel, we will
receive “everlasting life” (John 4:14).
