What Does It Mean to Be Born Again?

Scripture: John 3: 1-3

 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.” Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,[a] you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

Scripture Commentary:

Once you have accepted Jesus Christ, you are born again. The sinful life you’ve been living is washed away. The old you is gone; there is a new you. This is the gift that awaits you once you have accepted Jesus Christ.

We are all born sinners but we don’t have to live our life in sin. In John 3 Nicodemus was thinking of the physical body; however, Jesus was telling him of the Holy Spirit given to each of us. Have you talked to your Holy Spirit lately? If not, call on it now.

No matter who you are or what you’ve been doing, God is ready to forgive and forget your past transgressions and give you His almighty love. God gives us chances all the time. He knows we are weak, but He is strong.

Are you ready to be born again? Be washed in the spiritual blood of Christ. Be free at last!
