Born Again Now What? Being born again refers to a spiritual transformation and regeneration that occurs when someone accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. When we experience spiritual rebirth, we inherit God's spiritual nature. It is a spiritual rebirth that involves turning away from sinful behaviors and attitudes and dedicating one's life to following Jesus. This comes from John 3:3, where Jesus tells Nicodemus, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." To be born again means to receive God's grace and forgiveness through faith in Christ. It is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that gives a person a new heart, mind, and spirit. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you may experience people misunderstanding you, turning against you, or even hating you. This is because you now belong to a different kingdom - the kingdom of God. Previously, you belonged to the same kingdom as those people, but now you have a spiritual birthmark given to you by God that the devil recognizes. Regardless of age, gender, race, or economic status, if you encounter God and give your life to Christ, you may notice people treating you differently the next day. They may begin to distance themselves from you simply because you are now a different person spiritually. This is why, as a born-again Christian, it may be hard to fit in with others who have not had this experience. It's like two different worlds colliding. Being born again means that you are no longer under Satan's dominion, and he has no legal right to you. Sin gives him power over your life. Therefore, if you live in sin, you are essentially putting Satan in the position of God in your life. The Holy Spirit is our comforter and our power! As believers, we have allowed the enemy in disguise to reduce our faith to a mere religion, forgetting that Jesus came to expose and destroy the works of the devil. Jesus did not come to this world to start a new religion; this is a great deception from the enemy. He came to restore us to our original place as sons and daughters of the Most High God. Remember, Satan was called "the prince of this world," but Jesus is the King of everything. Let us not forget that we are kings and priests, empowered to live a life of purpose and fulfillment. So, let us focus on the true meaning of Jesus' message and strive to live our lives according to His teachings. Jesus said, "I came that you may have life and live it to the full." Some key aspects of being born again include: Repentance- turning away from sin and seeking God's forgiveness Faith in Jesus-believing that Jesus died for your sins and rose again New life in Christ-Experiencing spiritual rebirth and a new relationship with God Seeking to follow Jesus- Living for Christ and His purposes rather than self. Eternal life- Knowing you have the gift of salvation and will spend eternity with God In summary, being born again involves a dramatic change of heart and mind that results in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It marks the beginning of a new life lived for God's glory. He came unto his own, and his own didn't receive him. But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons and daughters of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God.
