You may hear many people refer to salvation as born again. What does this mean and where is this in the bible? In John 3:3, Jesus says: “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”. It this chapter of the bible a conversation goes on between Jesus and Nicodemus. Many people would ask how can you be born again when you are old? In verse five Jesus answered that by “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying you must be born again. The wind blows where it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the spirit.” – John 3:5-8.
This is referring to a new relationship between God and the person being born again, which is hopefully you! You can refer to Romans 8:15, 2 Corinthians 6:18, Galatians 4:5, and 1 John 3:1, which show how God adopts those who are born again and are apart of God’s family. Sadly, in today’s society there is much division with Christianity, and multiple forms not fully embracing this, and some not at all.
If you are not born again, today is the day!
