you must be born again

Often in Christianity we speak of

being regenerated.

According to Websters,

the meaning of this word is

to reform,

to make new,

to revive.

That is what happens in a

believer's heart

when the Holy Spirit

causes it to awaken.

One is said to be

born again,

to be made new.

"Regeneration,

 as John 3: 1~8 teaches,

is a hidden process within us.

The exact time when it happens

 is unknown

and unimportant.

The first sign

 that it has happened

is that one becomes interested in

spiritual things,

becomes conscious of

sin and guilt,

and

believes on

the Lord Jesus Christ as the only Saviour.

What is most important

is that

it has happened,

 not when it happened."

"Jesus answered and said to him,

Most assuredly,

unless one is born again,

he cannot see the kingdom of God."
