Becoming Born Again

"Seeing" the kingdom of God and "entering" into the kingdom of God are two separate things. When you "see" the kingdom of God, you can see it and the potential of being there, but when you "enter" into the kingdom of God, you are in it. When you become baptized, you "enter" into the kingdom of God. In order for Nicodemus to enter the kingdom of God, Jesus Christ teaches him that he must be "born again". Baptism is a symbol of rebirth because you are fully emersing yourself under water, in order to come up again clean and new. Baptism could be a symbol of death because we are going under to start anew. To be "born of the spirit" means that you have been converted in your heart and the way you live your life. The Father loves every single person ever born or ever created. In order to show His love, He blesses us and teaches us. He lets us have our agency so we can choose the way to go. He has blessed us with bodies and with the chance to someday be like him and to return with him. The purpose of the Savior was to make it so we could all return to the Father someday. He had to suffer for our sins so that we could become pure like the Father. If there wasn't a sacrifice we wouldn't be able to return to our Father because we wouldn't be perfect enough.
