You Must 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

If you don’t experience it for yourself, then you will never know what is on the other side. We are all born sinners! A radical change must take place. Not the betterment of your current life. A new life! Not the improvement of sinners. Morality will only mask the problem. Religious programs of rehabilitation or reeducation will not work. 

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”  - John 3:7

This is not something that we can do for God. This is something that God does for us (Eph. 2:8-10). We cannot save ourselves! We cannot change ourselves! Sin is a hereditary problem that has infected the entire human race. We inherited a sinful nature from Adam & Eve (Rom. 5:12-14). The whole family tree of mankind is fallen! A divine intervention must take place (2 Pet. 1:2-4). God, the Creator, is the only one who has the power to make all things become new.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”  - 2 Cor. 5:17

The sin problem at conception can be remedied by the new creation. God can remake and reform those who have been “shapen in iniquity” (Ps. 51:5). The Potter has power over the clay (Jer. 18:1-6). Those who are born in sin can be reborn in righteousness! The generations of men can be regenerated (Titus 3:3-7). Hereby, the Children of the Devil become Children of God (1 Jn. 3:7-10). The miraculous difference will be felt “as soon as they be born” (Ps. 58:3, Rom. 5:21). Can you believe it? Believe in the Gospel. This is true freedom (Jn. 8:31-36)! Not freedom to sin. Freedom from sin! 

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”  - Rom. 6:1-2

You will never know what I am talking about unless you are born again. You can’t peer into the other side to investigate. Only God can open blind eyes (Acts 26:18)! The miraculous change is permanent. You must come to terms with the message of salvation contained in the Gospel. Your adoption into the family of God isn’t temporary (Rom. 8:9-17). If you sincerely give up your old life, without reservation, then God will graciously give you a new life. This is liberally granted to sinners as a free gift from God! However, this is only possible because it was bought and paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ (Rom. 6:22-23)! The Cross bears witness. You must repent & believe on the Lord Jesus Christ! 

“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: Which 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
