Scripture Text: John 3:1-21

Another common question asked by people during evangelism is : If you are already alive, how can you be "born again"? You're only born once, right?

Being born again is not a physical rebirth. Instead, it is a mental rebirth. It means that our hearts have changed from being indifferent or hostile towards God to loving Him and wanting to do what is best for us.
But how does it happen?


First, we need to know where we are as people right now. We all have the same problem, and Jesus said it starts in our minds. Sin is the trouble, which means missing the mark or not doing what we should do. We try to fix this problem on our own, whether we know it or not. We try to make up for it or put it out of our minds, but deep down, we still feel like something is missing. Nothing will make us happy unless we have Jesus in our lives and find out that we can spend eternity with Him.

In the Bible, there's a story about a man named Nicodemus. He was a religious leader and a good person. One night, while talking to Jesus, Nicodemus asked Him what he needed to do to get to heaven. Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be born again" (John 3:7). In fact, Jesus said, "Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).


Jesus was telling Nicodemus that he needed to change on the inside, no matter how good he was on the outside. That can only happen when God's Holy Spirit convicts us of wrongdoing and gives us new life from the inside out.


So, what should we do?

First, we have to recognise that we are sinners and can't live up to God's perfect standard on our own. Then we have to ask for forgiveness for that sin and change, which means to do everything we can to stop doing that sin. The last thing we do is ask Jesus to be a part of our lives.

The Spirit of God comes into our hearts at that time to guide us and make us more like Him. We start over again at that point.

God says it this way: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you" (Ezekiel 36:26). From that point on, He gives us new goals and a new reason to live. We don't live for ourselves anymore; we live for God (2 Corinthians 5:15).

You can have a spiritual rebirth today:

YOU CAN BE BORN AGAIN

God bless you.

If you would like to give to Christ, just say this short prayer:

"Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You now, come into my life, take control of my life and change my world. I say bye-bye to the devil, I enter into the Kingdom of Light. Thank You Jesus Christ, in Jesus' name I pray! Amen!

Congratulations!!!

Peace!
