The ABC's of Being Born Again
|
|
Being "born again" is how a natural man or
woman
becomes a child of God.
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, unless a
man
be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
We used the masculine pronoun here, but
obviously this applies
both to men and women. Here's what a person must do to become a true
child of God in a right relationship with Him.
- A. Admit
that you really are a sinner, in need of a Savior. (I've sinned -
haven't you?)
- B. Believe
that Jesus came and died for your sins, and that He rose from the dead.
- C. Confess
your sinfulness, asking Jesus to forgive you, and to come into you
heart and life. (Thus establishing a relationship
instead of obeying rules.)
If you agree to the above, pray something
like this from the sincerity of your heart:
"Dear God, I know I am
a sinner. I believe Jesus died
on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I want to
turn
from my sins. I want to know You. I invite You to come into my heart as
my Lord and my Savior.
Thank you, Jesus.
In Your Name I Pray, Amen."

The "Roman Road" - Eternal Life, Peace and
Joy in Four Verses

After you have prayed the above, you will
want to see how the Bible
affirms this Christ-centered message of salvation.
It can
easily be seen in just 4 passages from the book of Romans:
- Romans 3:23 -
Problem
"For all
have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God, being justified (declared right by God)
as a gift by His grace
through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus."
- Romans 5:12 -
Penalty
"Just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death
through sin, and so death spread to all men because
all sinned..."
- Romans 5:8 - Provision
"God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us."
- Romans 10:9-10
- Pardon
"If you confess with your mouth
Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Amazing, isn't it? Our real problem has a
REAL solution - through Jesus!

Why Do We Need Jesus?
We cannot save ourselves. Our sins have put an
unsurmountable distance between us and God. He is holy; we are not.
The greatest saint you will ever meet will tell
you that
they sin too. They need a savior. One who loves them and accepts them
just as they are.
The irony is, once we receive Christ's
unconditional
love we want to act more like Him. He helps us do that too, by
His
personal spirit.
Agreeing with the above is the first step. The
next is to pray the prayer of repentance on the left.
Then go find some other Christ-followers to
fellowship with and to love.
"My house will
be filled with guests!"
That's what Jesus wants.
A house full of Him and His love.
