"What Does It Mean to be 'Born Again?'"
What is all
this talk about being "born again"? Isn't it
just a lot of religious nonsense? NO! But there
are many people talking about it that don't know
what its all about themselves! It has nothing to
do with "religion". Religion is just man's
attempt to reach God's level. It won't work. No
church or denomination will ever reach God by
its own methods.
"How can I reach God, then?" Don't! LET GOD
REACH OUT TO YOU! He has through His Son, Jesus.
Now wait! Before you lay this down ... I'm not
talking about religion, or church, or anything
like that... I'm talking about a personal,
one-to-one relationship with Jesus. It is
available! HOW? By being born again! Jesus said,
"... except a man be born again, he cannot see
the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) "But how can I
be born again if not through religion?" By doing
what God said to do! Listen to this: |
"... 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." (Romans 10:9)
Being saved is being born again. Its that simple! This scripture is
all that you need to know to be born again. You don't have to be a
Bible scholar! Just pray according to that scripture, out of your
heart . . . "GOD, ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD, I COME TO YOU CONFESSING
JESUS AS MY LORD, I BELIEVE THAT YOU, FATHER, HAVE RAISED YOUR SON,
JESUS FROM THE DEAD. I THANK YOU NOW THAT ACCORDING TO ROMANS 10:9,
I AM BORN AGAIN, I AM SAVED! IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN!"
... NOW, if you ever think, "I'm not really born again", you'll know
better! Just say, "I am born again, according to Romans 10:9,
because I did what it said!" Here are some other scriptures for you
to study concerning your salvation ... 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; John
3:1-18; Romans 6:23; John 14:6; Revelation 3:20; Titus 3:5;
Ephesians 2:8, 9; 1 Peter 2:24
