Are You Born Again?

Some people in the world think this is just a term that Christians use to separate them from the rest of the world. In fact, this does separate you from the rest of the world in that you are alive both physically and spiritually. The Bible is very specific on this in that you cannot be born again without putting you faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior. At that point, the Holy Spirit dwells within you and you become alive spiritually. If you haven't done this, then you are not born again and are not part of the family of God. You must believe that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah or Anointed One whom God sent into the world to be the Savior from sin.

Being part of the family of God is not something we deserve of something we gain by being of any certain race or culture. It isn't given to you because of the church you attend nor is it hereditary. It is given only by the direct act of God. It is the inner working of the Holy Spirit in our lives giving us new birth. He gives us a new heart and a new spirit and we become a new creation in Christ Jesus. Without His work, we are spiritually dead and there is nothing we can do to merit salvation.

When you are born again, you'll begin to change to be more like Christ. Your attitude will be different toward others because you'll have the love of God in you. You'll have eternal life given to you by God and you become a child of God. It doesn't get any better than that. Here we are a sinner deserving of death, and Jesus comes down to earth and dies in our place. Then He gives us eternal life which we don't deserve and welcomes us into His family. How great is that? All we have to do is believe in Him and ask for His forgiveness. Why do people reject so great a gift?

If you haven't already accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, do so today. He loves you and wants to forgive you but you must come to Him. Not because you have to but because want to.
John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.)
BELIEVES-To trust, rely on, and have faith in Him. Faith is not just a one time event, but an ongoing condition. Saving faith is a gift from God that He produces in a persons heart. Ask God to give you that faith and give your life to Jesus.

God Bless You!
