Help please I'm so close to finishing school

Explain in your own words in a paragraph of no less than 125 words what Jesus' message to Nicodemus was and what that message means. Use at least three Scripture verses to back up your answer.

1. To come to Him: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37)

2. To receive Him: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:12)

3. To call upon Him: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

4. To confess Him with the mouth: "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)

5. To commit oneself to and rely completely upon Him: "To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord." (2 Timothy 1:12)

6. To obey His Word: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46)

Answer:

(most r my own words)

Jesus told Nicodemus that it is possible to be born again. This news confused Nicodemus, if somebody told you that it is possible to be born again, I’m sure you’d be confused too."How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. Now, how could somebody be born again?’’ It is difficult for Nicodemus to understand what Jesus is teaching him about the Kingdom. So Jesus explained his words a bit better. Jesus says: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man must be lifted up, so that everyone believing in him may have everlasting life.”​ (John 3:14, 15.) What does this mean? To be ‘born again’ means to be saved and to gain faith in Jesus Christ. To be saved you need to be baptised.

Answer: Jesus tells Nicodemus: “God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world.” This means that he was not sent to judge it adversely.

Explanation: "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
