The Born Again Mysteries Of The Holy Spirit
Have you ever wondered what the phrase “born again” means? The Bible records that Jesus used the phrase in a conversation with a man named Nicodemus. Nicodemus approached Jesus at night. He was curious about Jesus and the Kingdom of God.
Jesus told him, “Unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Nicodemus responded, “But how can anyone be born when he is old?”(John 3:4)
Nicodemus was a highly moral man who obeyed God’s law. He was a respect leader of the Jewish community. No doubt, he was a fine man. Yet something was lacking. Like Nicodemus, many people today confuse religion with new birth in Christ. Phrases like “I pray regularly” or “I believe there is a God.” often are confused with a real new birth experience.
New birth begins with the Holy Spirit convicting someone that he or she is a sinner. Because of sin, we are spiritually dead. For this reason spiritual birth, as Jesus described it is necessary. God loves us and gives us spiritual birth when we ask Him for it.
The Bible says all persons are sinners (Romans 3:23). Jesus died on a cross and was raised from the dead to save sinners. To be born again means that a person admits to God that he or she is a sinner, repents of his sin, believes in or trust Christ, and confesses faith in Christ as Savior and Lord. Jesus told Nicodemus that everyone who believes in (places faith in) Christ would not perish (John 3:16). Jesus is the only one who can save us (John14:6).
To believe in Jesus is to be born again. Confess your sins and ask Jesus right now to save you. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21). After you have received Jesus Christ into your life, share your decision with another person and, follow Christ’s example, ask for baptism by immersion in your local church as a public expression of your faith (Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:6).
