What Exactly Does "Born Again" mean?

 

What does Born Again and being Saved mean? A spiritual rebirth experience. this is required in order to go to heaven?

There is much need for the proper teaching of the spiritual truth and revelation of the qualification for those who want to live and go to heaven.

Jesus said we must be "born again." This spiritual truth is highly misunderstood and misused.

Let me point out that many false teachings have used small sections of scriptures out of context to mislead and confuse many. Once we come to understand the True Gospel and the purpose of His death we believe and receive Him in our heart. This is the focus point of how being 'Born Again' is created inside the believer based on faith in Jesus and His work alone.

The most important book of the Bible besides the 4 Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is the book of Galations. Somem believe this is the first book written to the believers by Paul. In every chapter of the book we are warned and taught about false teacher and people trying to confuss the truth of the gospel.

 

BORN AGAIN

What does 'Born Again' mean?

It simply means a change in one's heart. This is a spiritual rebirth not a physical rebirth. We must have faith to become a new creature in Christ. All the old sinful characteristics are being put to death by walking in the new Spirit of God inside you.

When we hear the Word of God by the preaching or teaching of the Gospel of Jesus we put our faithh in the message and receive the Spirit of God. This is done by faith alone.

By Faith a new identity of you in Christ is created inside your heart. Jesus the Christ, His Father and the Holy Spirit will come and live inside your heart the moment you believe in the Word of God and confess withyour mouth.

How can we tell if we have this new creature inside us?

We should be able to notice a life changing experience in anyone who has been Born Again. It can be difficult to determine when exactly this takes place because it is an internally mysterious event that happens the moment one fully accepts by faith the good news message of the Gospel. Like Jesus said it is like the wind blowing where it wants.

Everyone's experience is different. Some are slow to start while others have a lightening from heaven kind of experience. Some people have shallow hearts making it difficult for the Spirit of the Word to penetrate deep enough for roots to grow .Others only hear the Word one time and immediately they start producing fruits of righteousness. wow.

Jesus talks about the different kinds of people that receive the Word in a parable in Mark Chapter 4. Some people receive the Word of God and change for a few weeks or months then they fall back into the old sinful lifestyle they once knew. Are they Born Again? Who knows? We are not to judge. We better be concerned of proving our own salvation and not condemning others.

You may not really know if someone is truly Born Again. We can only judge people actions and not the destination of their souls. That is God's place to judge.

However we can be absolutely confident in our own salvation because the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son will all be living inside us bearing a great witness. You will have a deposit of the Holy Spirit inside you giving you assurance as you grow in the Spirit everyday. When you practice Love, Faith and Hope the evidence and proof you need will be clearly abundant.

Those who are Born of God do not practice sin, but believe in and confess that Jesus is from God. We prove we are of God by keeping His commandment and Loving one another. That is how we really know we are of God. Read 1st John chapters 3 and 4.

On the other hand Just because someone says the sinners prayer or speaks with their mouth that Jesus is the Son of God doesn't mean they are Born Again either. Only the Individual and God Himself really know if the New Creation has begun inside the heart.

John 3:5-7 Unless one is born of the water and the spirit he can not enter into heaven. Do not marvel that I say one must be born again. You can not tell where or how-so is one who is born of the spirit.

FREE GIFT:

Research the doctrine of Grace here:

It is all God's efforts

Saved By Grace Alone

Grace is GOD'S Work

Listen to messages preached about grace

Understand Grace

Even though we are called to obey the Gospel and keep all God's Commandments, which entail confessing that Jesus is Lord, getting baptized, living holy and practicing love, these works do not save us. We are not righteous because we practice good deeds or get baptized. We are only righteous and saved if we have the son of God living inside us by Faith. Faith in His work on the cross and His death for our sins. He gives us His life and takes our death. By Faith we can receive this free gift of salvation.

Remission of Sins:

We have all sinned against God and deserve to die. If you, I or anyone else was in the Garden of Eden we would have done the same thing they did. God's plan is to clean us and keep us. He loves us and so He himself made a way to cancel our debt of death. Our sins are now wiped away and we are now clean. Anyone who has faith in the Gospel of the cross can be saved and Born Again. wow

JUSTIFIED

We are justified.

Scriptures to refer to:

Righteousness was accounted unto Abraham,however, because he believed
God. A man is justified by works and not faith only. [ verses 14-20 proves
that there is a kind of faith that even the devils have, a dead faith. If
someone says ‘ you have faith and I have works.’ Show me your
faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works.
Faith without works is dead.

Scriptures to refer to:

Thes.1:3 Your faith is work; or your faith produces work. [ TRUE FAITH WILL
PRODUCE WORKS.]
John 6 :28-29 What shall we do that we may work the works of God? Jesus said
‘ this is the work of God: that you believe on Him whom He sent.’
Gal. 3:2-8 Do you receive the spirit by the works of the law or by hearing of faith?
They begun in the spirit and being foolish they try to be perfect in the flesh.
He who works these miracles does he do it by the works of the law or by
hearing of faith? Abraham was accounted because of his faith and we are sons
because we are of faith.
Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace we are saved by faith. This is a gift least anyone should boast.
Titus 2:7 Show good works in doctrine showing integrity.

and I have works show me your faith without your works and I will say
I will show you my faith by my works.[ there are different kinds of faith-
even the devils believe in God and tremble ] Faith without works is dead.
Abraham’s faith was made perfect by his works. Faith and works work
together. But his righteousness was still accounted to him because he
believed, although a man in the right kind of faith is not only justified by
faith but also by works.
Rom. 4:1-16 If Abraham was justified by works he would have something to boast about,
but not before God. His faith accounted to him righteousness. The promise
of God comes through the righteousness of faith, not the law. It is of faith
that it might be according to grace-that the promise might be sure to us all
that are of the seed of faith.
Rev. 3:1-3 I know your works that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
strengthen the thing which remain that are about to die-for I have not found
your works perfect before God. Remember how you have received and
heard. Hold fast and repent.
Heb. 6:1 Therefore leave the discussion of the elementary principles in Christ and move on
to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance of dead works and
of faith towards God, and doctrines of baptism and laying on of hands. And
this we will do if God permits.
Rom. 9:10-11 It is not because of our works anyway but simple because He calls us.
Rom 9:30-33 Even the gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it,
even the righteousness of faith. But those pursuing the law of righteousness
have not attained it because they first must have faith.

longer works.
