Getting
Right to the Point!
“Born Again” =
Believer in Jesus – PERIOD!
What
does it mean to be “born again?” As seen in John, chapter 3, even some pretty
wise theologians like Nicodemus have a hard time with this concept. There,
Jesus says it’s a spiritual condition. And it can’t be something people chose
to do. (John 15:16)
Neither
is it some state of super spirituality, nor possession of miraculous abilities
like healing with just a touch, or instantly speaking perfect Japanese without
a single lesson. Those kinds of things are a whole different subject (First
Corinthians, chapter 12). No, it’s much simpler than that.
Born
Again means that you believe that the historical person, Jesus of Nazareth, is
the Messiah, the Son of God, Who is also a real human being, lived a perfect
life, willingly died as full and complete payment for all your sins, and thus
you are on your way to eternal life in heaven. If you believe that you’re “Born
Again,” period! And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Get it? Got it. Good!
And that's the point!
