| HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN |
"He came unto His own, and His own received Him not,
But as many as received Him,
To them gave He power to become the sons of God,
Even to them that believe on His name: which were born,
Not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
But of God" (John 1:11-13).
NOT OF BLOOD: You are not a Christian just because
your parents may be. You do not inherit salvation from
your parents. Even though your parents may be saved, if you have not been born
again, you are lost and on your way to a devil’s HELL.
NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH: If asked if you were a born again, you may say, "I
don't know for sure, but I'm trying to be, in my own way." Now suppose you ask if he/she is
the son or daughter of his/her parents and they answer, "I'm not certain, but I'm trying to
be in my own way." They are not their son/daughter because they try to be, but because
they were born into their home.
If you are a child of God,
it is not because you are trying to be,
but because you have been born into HIS family.
NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN: It is not brought about by any of man's religious creeds,
systems, or ceremonies. No man or organization can do anything to you that will make you
born again. Join what you will, go through ceremony after ceremony, memorize creeds, and
try to keep the rules and regulations of man-made systems, but it will not make you born
again.
BUT OF GOD! The Lord Jesus said you must be born "of the SPIRIT." It is God's work,
not yours. It is a miracle. Only God can perform it. If God has not done a work in your life,
you are not born again. Your part is to believe God's record about JESUS CHRIST, you are
to recognize that you are lost and in need of Christ, and receive Him as your Lord and
personal Saviour. HE died at Calvary, satisfying the righteousness and justice of GOD, that
He might take your sins and punishment upon Himself. HE rose from the dead and is
seated today at the right hand of the Majesty on high (see Hebrews 1:3), and He is offered
to you as God's salvation. When you receive HIM, you will be born again, for the Bible says
in Galatians 3:26 "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
You do not receive Christ by taking communion. You receive Christ by faith. Just ask Him
if HE will forgive you of your sins and be your personal Saviour. Before it is eternally too
late, I beg of you again for your sake, for your family's sake, for Jesus' sake, do not trifle
with this thing. Bow at the feet of the risen Lord and ask Him to be your Saviour now.
"He that hath the SON hath life;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life"
(I John 5:12).
But as many as received Him,
To them gave He power to become the sons of God,
Even to them that believe on His name: which were born,
Not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
But of God" (John 1:11-13).

"He that hath the SON hath life;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life"
(I John 5:12).
| Lord, I am a guilty, lost helpless sinner. I believe You suffered on the cross for my sins and died in my place to pay the penalty for my sins, and that You rose again. Will you please forgive me of my sins and give me eternal life? And come into my life and make me the type of person you want me to be? |
Please read:
Romans 10:13:
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Did you call upon Him?
Then He says you are saved, you have just been born again!
John 6:47: "He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
If you followed the above steps sincerely to the best of your ability, and then you are
born again, you need first of all to Thank THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for
purchasing you with HIS own precious blood. HE will never lose you or forsake you
and no one will be able to take you away from HIM. Now you need to start living it,
read your Bible, pray on a regular basis, fellowship at a Bible Believing Church and
witness to those around you about how GOD has given you eternal life through HIS
Son THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
