Miracle: Jesus performed miracles

Born again: of water and Holy Spirit

God so loved the world ( John 3 :16 )

The Book of John, Chapter 3

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.  2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."  3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."  4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when his is old?  Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"  5 Jesu answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.  6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'  8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.  So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

9 Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?"  10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?  11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony.  12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?"  13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.  14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life." 

16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal live." (This passage John 3:1-16 is from ESV Bible)

The Book of Genesis states that, while God created heavens and earth, the earth emerged from waters.  God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nose the breath of life (air/spirit), so the man became living creature. (air and spirit are same word in ancient Hebrew)

Furthermore, after Adam and Eve violated God's rule, they were driven out of God's surroundings.  They and their offspring were all fallen short (please refer to Romans 3:23), until someday mankind can be born again ( of water and Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ ) to return, entering into the Kingdom of God.
