Re-Born Again

Re-Born Again 

Do you know what Jesus meant by being born again in his explanatory to Nicodemus? Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3).

A spiritual rebirth is required as a prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of God. In Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, it is explained that being “born again” is a spiritual transformation that enables us to shift the knowledge of God’s kingdom from one that has an earthly perspective to one that has an eternal perspective. This rebirth is necessary for us to be able to understand the truth of God’s kingdom and His will for us. It is an act of faith that allows us to receive the Holy Spirit and become children of God. This transformation is essential in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven. In this regard, we have sign of spiritual rebirth and conversion, and it allows us to be open to the truth of God’s kingdom. A person’s conversion to Christianity begins with the fact that they are born again, This rebirth takes place when a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Through repentance and faith, a person’s spirit is cleansed and they are then able to live a life dedicated to God. The rebirth involves a new relationship with God and a commitment to live according to His teachings. It is also a journey towards spiritual maturity and transformation.

Jesus further explains that this transformation is brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to understand the teachings of Jesus and to experience a personal relationship with God. Purpose, it is a journey of self-discovery and transformation, as we become more in tune with our true selves. Rebirth is an opportunity to free ourselves and It is a chance to break away from our limiting beliefs, fears, from the shackles, bondages, strongholds, and of our past sins and become the best version of our true identity initiated since the beginning of the world to see of ourselves as son and daughters of God. In order to be Re-born again and to reflect this transformation from a life of sin towards a life of righteousness, one must be filled with the Holy Spirit. As soon as we accept Jesus Christ, we are born of the Spirit, leaving behind our the-old-self to be transformed and embracing a new self in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 4:22-24)”To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. -A person who wishes to be reborn into a new being must die to themselves and accept Jesus Christ into their hearts. After being reborn, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and you will experience new life. This rebirth is a transformation of not only the mind but also the heart. It involves a complete change of heart and attitude. It is also a transformation in thinking and behavior. “You must be born again,” which means that you must die to your old self, surrender your life, become a child of God, and then be reborn into a new existence.

This new self is empowered by the Holy Spirit and filled with peace and joy. We are made new and given a new life, freed from the power of sin and able to walk in the path of righteousness. We are given the ability to love others and to serve them. We are given the ability to forgive and to forget, and we are given the hope of eternal life.

We must be willing to take responsibility for our actions and make amends and most important to forgive ourselves and those around us.  

In order to really understand the relationship between repentance and rebirth, one must understand the relationship between forgiveness through Christ and the opportunity to start anew, leaving our past sins behind and embracing a new life in, so that we will no longer be living on the flesh, but live completely on the Holy Spirit. We strongly believe that repentance is one of the most important aspects of rebirth; namely, that it is through the act of turning away from sin and seeking forgiveness that we can begin the process of spiritual Re-Birth and renewal.”(2 Corinthians 5:17)” Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”- As a new creation in Christ, we are reborn and adopted by God through His Holy Spirit, which gives us new life and a new birth. This new birth allows us to have a personal relationship with God, and to receive His grace and forgiveness. We are given a new life to live and a sense of purpose that will enable us to serve Him and bring about His kingdom on earth
