The Gospel

Born Again?

"Nothing on this website is more important than your salvation."

What It Means

  • Spiritual rebirth: Your first birth was physical; this is a second, spiritual birth.
  • Inner transformation: God changes your heart and mind, making you a new person inside.
  • Dead to alive: You go from being spiritually "dead" in sin to spiritually alive in Jesus.
  • God's work: It is a miracle done entirely by the Holy Spirit, not by your own effort.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 3:3 (ESV)
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
John 3:6 (ESV)

How to Be Born Again

To become born again, a person places their total trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of sins.

  1. Acknowledge Sin: You must recognize that you have sinned against God and cannot save yourself (Romans 3:23).
  2. Repent: You turn away from your sin and self-reliance, changing your mind to align with God's truth (Acts 3:19).
  3. Believe in Jesus: You trust that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead to pay your penalty (Romans 10:9).
  4. Receive the Gift: You accept salvation as a free gift of God's grace, not something earned by good deeds (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Turn from sin. Trust in Christ. Live through Christ.
