Nicodemus saith unto Him,
how can a man be born when he is old?
Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered: Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born
of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it
listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:
so is every
one that is born of the Spirit." JOHN 3:3-8
Are you a born
again christian?
Verily, verily, I say unto
you: Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die,
it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." JOHN 12:24
"Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance ..." LUKE 3:8
"Assuredly, I say to
you, unless you are converted and become as little children,
you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. MATTHEW 18:3

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
" For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircuncision, but a new creature." GALATIANS 6:15 |
Aren't you
saved? Would'nt you like to become a new creature?
Would'nt you like to give your
heart to Jesus and begin a "New Life"?
"... Behold, now is the
accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
2 CORINTHIANS 6:2

As Adam got away from the presence of God because of his sin, a separation was established between himself and his Creator. The human nature became a sinful one instantly. That's the inheritance Adam left to all human beings. Certainly, from that moment on, the man in his fallen nature, began to live his life apart from God. After a number of covenants made by God trying to bring the man near Him again, the eternal covenant made by the blood of Christ Jesus became a reality. God, taking the nature of a human being , came to this world to reconcile men to Himself through Christ.
Beyond all question, the mistery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body,
was vindicated by the Spirit, Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin, As it is written: "There is no righteous, not even one; There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they
have together become worthless; Consequently, just as the
result of one trespass was condemnation for all men,
Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith,
When a man accepts that he is a sinner and repents from all transgressions, and believes in his heart that Jesus Christ is the only one that can save him from his miserable condition, his reconciliation with God is made through Jesus Christ. JESUS came to make peace between God and mankind In that very moment he is Born Again in the Spirit; a change occurs in his heart and mind, his way of speaking, and his lifestyle. The fruits that follow repentance begin to manifest. This is the experience of the newborn, which is vital, fundamental and a must for every human being to see the Kingdom of God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." ROMANS 3:23
"For God SO loved the
world that He gave his one and only Son,
"...If you confess with
your mouth, "JESUS is Lord,"
"Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ,
2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-20 All this is from God, who
reconciled us to Himself through Christ That God was
reconciling the
world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's
