Being born again is not the same as “turning over a new leaf”. It is not merely a moral transformation. It is a brand new life - the life of Christ - which is supernaturally produced in us by the Holy Spirit when we trust God’s word.
Do not be ashamed of the most wonderful Person in the universe.
When we were born, we inherited the fallen nature of our human ancestors. We became enslaved by unclean habits. The born again experience brings an entirely New Life resulting in deliverance from sin. This New Life is available to all who will sincerely call upon the Lord to be saved.

Your “Born Again Prayer”. Dear Lord Jesus, I want to be Born Again. I believe that you died on the cross to save my soul from sin and that you rose again. I pray you will forgive my sins. Take from my life all unclean habits and desires. Give me a pure and clean heart. Lord Jesus come into my heart and into my life today. Amen.
