“How to become “Born Again”

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The kings of the earth and the mighty men of the earth are born in exactly the same way, physically, as the simplest man. So the most intellectual person must become a Christian in exactly the same was the simplest person.
This is true of all human beings everywhere, through all space and all time. There are no exceptions. Jesus said in a totally exclusive word: “No man (or woman) cometh unto the Father, but by Me.”
Jesus said that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven a person must be “Born Again.” This consists of an act of the heart in believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. When we were born into the world physically, we were born spiritually dead, and therefore we need a spiritual birth. The spiritual birth involves two facets.
The first is to realize that we cannot make it on our own. We are sinners who need help. What is a sinner? A sinner is someone who is separated from God, they have chosen to go his or her own way and cannot get back to God on his or her own because of their sin.
Sin can be simply characterized as our own self-centered pride and selfishness. More specifically, sin is the Violation of a Holy God’s standard of righteousness.
Thus, we must own up to the fact that we need a Savior, someone who will accomplish all that God requires. The only person ever to do this was Jesus Christ. He lived the only life that was acceptable to God.
He died as a substitute on the cross for our sins because we have no chance of pleasing God on our own merit. Thus the initial step is to realize that we all have sinned, we all have broken God’s law, and we all deserve judgment as a result. The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death.”
Once a person sees his hopeless condition and realizes that Jesus Christ offers the only answer, the next step is to receive that offer personally, for “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” When a person receives Christ as his or her Savior by accepting God’s gift, at that moment he becomes born again.
It is so easy for a child can do it, but it is hard because we first have to realize that we cannot do it on our own. Jesus said that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, a person must be willing to humble him¬self as a child, and only then will God receive him or her.
How about you? Have you done this? Have you been born again? If you wish to, I offer this prayer that you can use: “Lord Jesus, I know that I’m a sinner, and I realize that I can’t make it on my own. Thank you for dying for me. Right at this moment, the best way I know how, I trust you as my Lord and Savior and ask you for your Spirit to live in me. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.”
If you pray sincerely to God, then you will become a Christian!
It is not the reciting of the above words, which makes the difference. There is nothing magical in them; anyone can repeat a sentence. It is the attitude and faith in your heart and your desire when you pray and trust Christ that makes the difference.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3; K.J.V.). So I ask you: “Are You Born Again?”
