    How can one be born again
  • Carleton - In Reply on John 16 - 3 years ago
    Hello Precious, Being Born again is having a heart changed from serving one's self to a heart that serves the Lord. This new life in Jesus Christ comes forth as we in our need looked forward in faith to Jesus for forgiveness. His Spirit will come forth to this new believer and dwell with you as a comforter.

    When the time comes hold nothing back from the Lord.

    The bible says in Romans 10:9,10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead. Thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

    iT is a work of God. Only Him can give life by His grace. Repent, and believe in the Gospel. AND endure the test of your faith.

    Being born again is very simple....First we must realize that all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God....



    Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

    Sin is anything that goes against God's standards and rules...this goes from lying to thinking bad thoughts...to murder and sexual perversions..ect... God says there is a price for these sins...and that price is death...and not just our bodies dying because our bodies are only temporal on this earth...but our SOULS are eternal...so this death God speaks of is in terms of ones soul to be eternally separated from the God that created us in His image..SO Hell is the punishment for sin...

    Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    BUT God!! Sent Jesus to pay our sin debt and it is a free gift to any that believe that Jesus died, rose, and is now at the Right Hand of the Father we also can live eternally with God..but we MUST KNOW we are sinners!! And just like a child that does something wrong seeks to be forgiven...we must seek the same from God through Jesus...with FAITH!!

    Romans 10:9-10

    That 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.

    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    Confess we KNOW Jesus as our Saviour!! Believe in our hearts we are sinful...but God loves us enough to have mercy on us...believe God raised Jesus up...and He WILL raise His children up as well...Jesus defeated death...God raised Him from the grave! He can give us rebirth!! IF we will just accept it! Praying God give you wisdom and understanding in this if you have never been born again!

    Amen Brother Jess!!

    Our Justification happened at the Cross and We are being Sanctified by his Word and we will be Glorified in Heaven.

    Galatians 4:28. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

    There's a verse that wraps up the works and grace confusion when applied.

    There's a lot to unlock in Torah before we even get into the study of Salvation in the New Testament!!

    God bless.
