BORN AGAIN
Born again is not baptism, because some were baptized and yet not born again (John 1:19-34). It is not eating the holy Communion, because some ate it unworthily and brought condemnation on themselves (1st Cor 11:29-32). It is not trying to live a better life like other people, for many will try entering by their good deeds and shall not be able (Luke 13:24). It is not church's punctuality or joining any church for some slipped in awareness (Gal 2:4), so also It is not praying. For Jesus said "these people draweth near to me with their lips but their hearts is far from me" (Matt 15:8). Some people thought that by doing good, one can be qualified for heaven. They try to give to the poor, visit the sick, pay their tithes, give offering, become workers in the vineyard, they believe by so doing, they are born again. That is mere fantasies, because you cannot try to be what you are not, but to be born again requires a change of heart totality acceptation of Christ. As it was earlier, being a Christian does not means you are born again, let's take a look at Nicodemus, though he is familiar with the word of God yet he never know the intakes to becomes a born again. Jesus said verily verily I say onto you, except a man his born again; he cannot see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3). Please turn to the Lord today.
It is not difficult if you will be humble to take a step of faith today.
I. Accept that you are a sinner, because everybody has sinned against God and come short of his glory (1st John 1:8).
II. Confess your sins to God and turn away from them. He his faithful and just to forgive all our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1st John 1:9).
III. Now, invite Jesus to come into your heart and reside in there, for He stands at the for of your heart. if you open for Him, He will come and be the Lord of your life in action to guide your footsteps and save you for eternity, Hallelujah.
Formerly you were dead in your sin; disobedience to God, worshipping idols and images, fighting, fornication or alley is committed by you, but as soon as you take those steps mentioned above. Now are born again and becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus by faith. (2nd Cor 5:17-20).
Reconcile with God now, He is waiting for you so as to escape from the second death as promised in the book of John 3:16 and live in peace.
