Where Should We Be Born Again?
Theme
Being a born-again Christian is primarily a spiritual reality. A true follower of Christ must be born again through the Holy Spirit. But what does it mean to be “reborn through the Holy Spirit”?
Jesus uses the metaphor of rebirth to describe the new life God gives us through the Spirit. This new birth is possible because of the saving power of Christ’s blood. Through the Holy Spirit, the salvation Christ accomplished on the cross becomes a living reality in our daily lives. The Spirit gives us a new heart, a new identity, and a new direction so that we may live as true followers of Christ.
John 3:1-6
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
