The Verdict Is In . . . Ye Must Be Born Again! “If someone would have asked me 15 years ago to describe a “born again” person, I would have given the example of a phony, self-righteous person who, after “getting religion,” would use the title to somehow vindicate himself from any wrong doing and excuse his behavior.

The moment I became “born again,” however, I realized what the term truly meant: that I was eternally forgiven from all my sins and I had a right standing before God. And I know it!  And it’s Biblical!  And it’s imperative!

The Bible says in Proverbs 18:1: “Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.” My friend, there must come a time in your life when you completely pull yourself away from the world and examine yourself the way God sees you. Why? Because your soul will spend eternity in either heaven or hell according to God’s Word. The Bible says in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” If you’ve committed just one sin your whole entire life you would be ineligible to enter heaven because God’s holiness cannot co-exist with sin in any way, shape or form. However, Jesus Christ the eternal Son of God shed His blood and died a cruel death on the cross of Calvary to bear the punishment of all the sins of humanity. Yes, that means your sins and my sins! Jesus Christ in effect became our substitute so we wouldn’t have to roast in hell for eternity. He paid the price in full! God’s Word says that if we receive this truth- if we accept this gracious gift of Jesus Christ as Saviour- then He will receive us into His family. We are therefore “… born again… by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” (1 Pet 1:23) The Bible also says: . . .”
