How To Be Born Again

How To Be Born Again

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3: 3). “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: 13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1: 12, 13).

The subject of being born again is a proof that Christianity is a way of life and not a religion, and that it is not hereditary but a personal transformative experience with the Lord. Being born again is a spiritual metamorphosis whereby you are translated from the kingdom of darkness and a ­no-citizen of hell fire to the kingdom of God and citizen of heaven.

It is the greatest miracle on earth and the highest forgiveness in the universe. Being born again is not about doing things but accepting a gift from the Lord. It is accepting the vicarious sacrifice of Christ, whereby you accept Him as your personal Lord and savior. It is by opening our heart to Him and confessing Him as our Lord that He enters into our life and activates the sudden transformation, thereby delivering us from the power of sin. A transformation takes place and we move from sinner to saint. This is a phenomenon that is irreproducible in any other religion in the world; that is the uniqueness of the Christian faith.

To be born again however, we must realize that we are sinners and that we are living in disobedience to God. Then we must be sorry for our rebellion against Him and repent from our sins. True repentance carries sorrow because if we are not remorseful then we don’t understand the gravity of our sins and cannot appreciate the enormous sacrifice of Christ. When you give your life to Christ this way you become a new born baby of God and you therefore, need to be nurtured into maturity; this is why you must belong to a living church, where everything is done based on the word of God only; particularly an evangelical and Bible believing church.
