Question

"Born Again"........a farce or a reality ? If a "Reality" then How does it happen ?

Answer 1

You become born again, when you are saved.  It happens at the same moment, and you are saved ONLY when you believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead.  :)  Salvation is offered to you as a free gift of Jesus's love.  :)

There is no other way for our sins to be paid for.  All the good deeds in the world done by you, won't pay for even one of your sins.  Either Jesus pays for your sins, or you do in eternal torment in h**l.  That is the choice before you.  

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is this:  The truth is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal h**l is by believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you are saved!

Please pray now: "Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose from the dead. Thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die.  :)

Answer 2

As in "born again Chrstian"? I don't think it's literal! It just means that they've turned over a new leaf and are starting afresh as if they have been born again.

Answer 3

the born again is term used by jesus. what he means is born again spiratually, or your soul is born again. its obvious you cant just crawl back into your momma womb. but when you are born again in christ the idea is that you are washed clean. all sin, mistake, wrong doing is gone. you are clean (in the eyes of the lord) as a new born baby. your soul is just as pure, clean and new. so it is like starting over or because life has no reset button, being born again anew.

hope that helps.

Answer 4

Born again to me, as a Christian refers to the fact that I have accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. In saying this, spiritually,my old nature has died, and God has given me His Spirit, all my sins have been forgiven, and now I am a new person in Christ Jesus I now am in the process of changing my ways, thoughts, and actions, from the inside out. At first, I did not "feel" different, and I was told to allow the Lord to do His work in me. Slowly, because like I said this is a process, I found myself not wanting to do certain things, that is the Holy Spirit at work on the new inner me.I believe that we come to Jesus just as we are, and He meets us at the point of our need, and He helps us to be what we always wanted to be but did not have the ability to do it ourselves. I just celebrated 7 years being drug free, and this coming October will mark 14 years since I was last incarcerated.It did not happen over night, but day after day, He gives me new mercies and grace to be the person I was always hoping to be.I hope that this helps you, I have learned that being His child, and having a relationship with Him is the single most important thing that I have ever done.Good luck, and God bless you.

Answer 5

Born again physically or spiritually?

Are you talking about coming back to earth as another being?

Answer 6

Reality, but not in the physical sense, obviously. Being born is having a new, fresh start on the world. Babies come into the world without a past and without sin (although not for long). When you choose to follow Jesus, you get to start over. All the bad things you've done that separated you from God are taken by Jesus and forgotten. You have a fresh start, just like the day you were born. You just have to choose what to do with it. Hope that helps :0)

Answer 7

Christian is not just a religious person or merely a member of a church; a Christian is one who has been forgiven of his or her sin and has an ongoing personal relationship with God. Not only this, a Christian is someone that Jesus Christ lives in, one that has been born again (John 3.3) and lives in the assurance that Jesus paid the price for them to be right with God and go to heaven.

The Good News of Jesus Christ is . . .

1) God loves everyone and wants them all to live forever in His presence. John 3.16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

2) We are separated from God by sin. The Bible defines sin as things we do that are displeasing to God. As humans, not only have we done things that displease God, we cannot stop doing those things on our own. This is why the Bible calls us "sinners." Many sincerely believe that performing good works or religious acts will cause God to cancel out the wrong things that they have done. Spiritual and physical death came into our world because of sin.

3) Sin brings death. Romans 6.23 tells us that " . . . the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Physical death is separation from loved ones on earth; spiritual death is separation from God.

4) Through Jesus, God has provided the way for us to come to Him and be forgiven of our sins. Romans 5.8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God sent His Son, Jesus, to die and pay the price in full for all the wrong things we have done. We no longer have to be separated from God!.

5) We must individually admit to God that we are sinners and in an attitude of repentance (which means that we have changed our minds, the way we think, and turn away from sin to follow Christ), personally ask Him for forgiveness, the free gift of eternal life and to come into to our lives. Romans 10:9,10 says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Its as easy as A.B.C.

A. Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness .

B. Believe that Jesus died for the forgiveness of your sins on the cross.

C. Confess Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.

Simply talk to God and say something like this: "God, I know that I have sinned and have done things that have hurt You, others and myself. I am a sinner; please forgive my sins. I repent from all my sins, I turn away from my old life, and I ask you to give me the gift of eternal life. Please come into my life and save me from the punishment that I deserve. I put my full trust in what you did for me on the cross, Jesus and I take you as my Savior. Amen."

Hope this helps,
