ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?

Once, I witnessed a chicken lay an egg and so many questions flew through my mind at the same time. How was the egg formed? How does it become a living thing? How and when exactly does the life enter a baby? How are the bones formed? How is a whole human being formed out of nothing??? God intentionally created all of us in his image and it’s a marvelous thing but a more marvelous creature is a born-again believer.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN AGAIN

To be born again means to be born of God. The Greek word for “born again” is “Gennao Anothen” which means “to be born from above”.
John 1:12-13 “But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the [children] of God, even to them that believe on His Name: which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

Only those born of a certain man have the right to be recognized as the children of that man. Therefore only those who are born of God have the right to be recognized as the children of God. Those who receive Christ as their Saviour and Lord become children of God. How marvelous! To do this you must truly repent and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

WHY YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN

In God’s eyes, every man is born in sin and died spiritually because of Adam’s offence.
Romans 5:17 “For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ”
As we grow, we inherently live after the desires of the flesh and mind (Ephesians 2:3). This is opposed to God’s purpose for creating us and shows our need to be made new creatures in Christ Jesus. Only the Born Again experience can make us spiritually alive to God and aid us to start a new life in Christ.

WHEN TO BE BORN AGAIN

Immediately a man hears of the gospel, he must get born again!
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:14‭-‬15 KJV
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:7 KJV

HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN

You must accept that you are a sinner and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ came to die for your sins through His death and resurrection. After this, you will receive salvation. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9&10
If you have not received Christ into your life, I would like to give you the opportunity today to accept Him. The bible says in Hebrews 3:15 “If you hear His voice today, do not harden your hearts as you did in rebellion”.
So I believe you can hear His voice calling you to this newness of life. Please say this prayer after me and you will be saved:

SALVATION PRAYER – say this prayer out loud.

“Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to die for me. Thank you for taking me out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. I accept you now as my Lord and personal savior. Come and live in my heart and help me live for you forever. In Jesus name! Amen”

NOW THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, WHAT NEXT?

1. You have to grow in the knowledge of God through reading the word and having set time to be with God especially having a morning devotion
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1 Peter 2:2 KJV

2. Become filled with the Holy Spirit

2. Go to church, 1 Timothy 3:15 join a bible believing church and seek to be trained to understand your new birth.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:25
