How To Be Born Again

For a great part of my life I thought that being born again consisted of going to church, shaking the preacher's hand, and joining the church. I soon realized that born again or being saved is far deeper that that. Being born again, simply speaking, is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Being saved or born again is a sure necessity if one intends to go to heaven after death. No one can enjoy the blessings of God, nor go to Heaven without being saved. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:7,"YE MUST be BORN AGAIN." But how do you get saved or be born again.

First, you must realize that you are a sinner. "There is none righteous, no, not one." "For there is no difference: For ALL have sinned, and came short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:10,22,23) And because you are a sinner, you are condemned to die. "For the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) "Sin, bringeth forth death (spiritual death)." (James 1:15)

This means separation from God, in HELL, forever. How terrible. But God loved you and me so much that He gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as our substitute, who bore our sin, and died in our place.

"He hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthinians 5:21)

Jesus had to die. He had to shed His Blood. "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission." Hebrews 9:22. So your sin was laid upon Jesus and He died in your place.

You see, you are included in God's plan for redemption. God "will have all men to be saved, and to come the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4) God does not will or desire that you or "any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

There are no qualifications nor restrictions to being born again. "Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16). Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.".(1 John 5:1). "As many as received Him, to them have he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. (John 1:12).

You may be asking, how can I receive the person of the Lord Jesus and be born again -after acknoledging that you are a sinner and repenting? Here is the answer: "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness." (Romans 10:10) "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and their house." (Acts 16:31)

Simply BELIEVE on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried and was raised for your justification. Now call upon
Him and CONFESS that He died and rose again. (For whosoever shall call upon thd name of the Lord, shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
"That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9,10)
