You Can Be

You Can Be Born Again!

You can have God’s forgiveness for your sins, God’s power to lead a new life, and the assurance that you are His child and will live with Him forever someday in Heaven. To enjoy this new relationship with God, Jesus said the Bible teaches that you “must be born again… not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 3:7;1:13). What is this new kind of birth?

The New Birth It’s not inherited. We are not automatically born into God’s family because we have Christian parents. All of us are born with a sin nature and have sinned against God. To be fit for Heaven after this life on earth, we must be reborn spiritually. Unless one is born again “he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

It’s God’s idea, not ours. God loved us even when we were in rebellion against Him. “God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

It’s impossible for you alone. Resolving to live a good life or merely conforming to a religion is not enough. The new birth is not merely turning over a new leaf, but it is God giving you the gift of a new, spiritual life: “It is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8).

How to Be Born Again “As many as received Him [Jesus], to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

Believe. The first step into the family of God is to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. You must be willing to confess that you are a sinner unable to save yourself and believe that only Jesus can save you. Whoever “believeth on the Son hath everlasting life” (John 3:36).

Receive. It is not enough to merely believe (intellectually) that Jesus can save you from your sins; you must be willing to admit that your sins were so bad before a holy God that you could never pay the penalty for them yourself. Agree with God that it took Christ’s death in your place to make salvation possible for you. Turn from anything else you might be counting on to earn your way into Heaven. Receive Jesus as your Savior from sin’s punishment by turning from your sins and placing your full trust in Him alone for your eternal salvation.

Become. Next, God works a miracle in you!

Because you have received His Son as your Savior, God forgives your sins, and you are
