In the Scriptures it tells us: JESUS SAID, "Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a man be  born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit". John 3:5-6

So what does this mean?

Our birth by water is our natural birth, and our birth of the Spirit
is the second birth we have when we surrender our lives to God and accept
Christ, His only begotten Son as our Personal Savior who died on the cross
that we may have eternal life!  We cannot reenter into the mother's womb,
as Jesus explained in the Bible, but our spirit must be reborn and this
rebirth of our spirit is when God's Spirit comes and indwells in us.  
This is the Born Again Experience. Jesus says it is a mystery.
And that it gives us eternal life, not here on earth, but in Heaven!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To be born again is so simple. We must repent and   accept Jesus Christ
as our Personal Savior, be baptized, and in turn put our complete trust
and faith in Him. To believe that He died for our sins so that we may have
eternal life.   Only to confess our sins and needs and acceptance of Him.
When we do this with our whole self and are able to put  any doubt behind us,
then we are truly saved  and blessed with the Holy Spirit.  People will see
changes in your life!  Then when someone asks you "are you saved?"
you can say,  "Yes, Praise the Lord".

There is a most wonderful heaven and when we are saved and die, through
Christ this will be our dwelling place forever eternally after this life on
earth is over. A place of peace and contentment, love and health, of children
and aged all alike and so beautifully whole.

In order to find God when we cannot find Him within ourselves by ourselves
we need to be subjected to people who are filled with the Holy Spirit for
the Spirit radiates His presence to us to do what we have not the
courage to do alone.  He said we should gather together as Christians.

When we are searching and truly wanting, God will
guide us. No matter how good we are or how many good deeds we do, if
we know not Christ, we are lost.  This is the only rule He makes for our
salvation, to believe in Him and follow His teachings of love and obedience.

Be not ashamed to know Him on earth and He will not be ashamed or
embarrassed to know you in Heaven before His Father.   To really believe and
trust is wonderful. When you finally make that step, which is between you
and God, you will not be embarrassed, but overjoyed and triumphant
because you heard His voice and obeyed when He beconed to you.

After this, it seems you have so much courage you just want everybody you
know to feel the same and you will find yourself telling others of Christ.
You will be able to enjoy real Christian fellowship.  Always, because we
are only human, we will weaken and worry, but we will know we have our Lord
to turn to for help, for He is our advocate with the Father
and He helps us to be able to cope better and deal better with the things
that used to bother and discourage us.

Prayer and the Word  to a Christian is his food for his soul and spirit
as surely as what he eats is food for the body.
For it does for the soul what food does for the body.
It gives it strength and helps it grow.

And Christianity is a growth process just as life is a growth process!
We receive more from God as we have the Faith to receive!

God Bless You
