John 3:5-7 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. NIV
One of the great mystery of Christian faith is the born again experience. Misunderstood by many as a new religion, but the truth is, it is an experience, a birth of a new person to anyone who receives Christ as their Lord and Savior. (John 1:12). All men were born sinners and are all spiritually dead. No matter how we try to understand and seek God,without the born again experience we are searching infutility, but as His Holy Spirit gives birth to a new spirit in us, born of God not of the flesh but of the Spirit, we will again restore our lost communion and fellowship with Him. Its the start of seeing God's Kingdom exist, then we shall enter His Kingdom, His presence as we allow the maturity in spirit in us with the goal of the likeness of Christ.or in the day we go to Him by either death or rapture we shall be welcome to come in to His Kingdom. That's why, a born again Christian is a person who receives Christ as Lord and Savior, confessing his/her sin and living according to His word, guided by His spirit and enjoys the fellowship of the beloved!
As recipient of this grace, let us lived as really Kingdom citizen on tour to this temporary world, where we are in training to live for eternity as born of His Spirit! Let's lived according to His standard and according to His word not forgetting it's all by grace we are saved and not by our good works. Though good works are a life style of those who are born in Spirit as the fruit and gifts of the Spirit come to fruition in us!!!
God bless and enjoy being "Born of the Spirit"!
Till then!
