Being born again is one issue that has been misunderstood. Even Nicodemus, a Teacher of the Law, misunderstood the word. It is not one going back to the mother’s physical womb to be incubated and given birth to a second time. Being born again is one surrendering his life to Christ. It is allowing the Spirit of God to regenerate one’s life. It is changing one’s orientation from being worldly-focused to being heavenly-focused. It is being born spiritually in addition to the fleshly birth. It is for everyone no matter their status. It is for those who believe (v.16).

When one is born again, one becomes a child of God and will not perish but will have eternal life. One may spend years in church and yet not be born again; it follows a process. One must realise one has sinned against God (Rom. 3:23), confess one’s sins and ask for God’s forgiveness (1 John 1:8-9), forsake the sins (Prov. 28:13) and invite Jesus into one’s life (Rev. 3:20). John 1:12 states that as many as received Christ they are given power to become the children of God. Are you born again? If no or you are not sure, Can you humbly confess your sins now and invite Jesus into your life. You will never regret it.

Prayer: Lord, You so loved me and gave your life for me. Help me to accept you into my life so that I may gain everlasting life.
