Born Again — What It Truly Means

Born again means our dead spirit is made alive and connected to God through Jesus Christ.

God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed His spirit into him. Because of this, human beings received life and became able to think, know God, and have fellowship with Him. However, after Adam sinned, a law came into effect: “The wages of sin is death.” As descendants of Adam, all people are born into this world spiritually dead.

Our bodies are alive, breathing and moving, but our spirits, which should be connected to God, were separated from Him. Because of this separation, we could not know God by ourselves, and we could not believe in Jesus Christ on our own. Outwardly, we appeared alive, but inwardly we were living apart from God. We could not understand heaven or hell and lived only for the visible world.

Just as we have a physical birthday, there is also a day when our dead spirit becomes alive again. The Bible calls this event “being born again.” Being born again means that a person who was spiritually dead is born again in spirit.

To be born again means to believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. Jesus had no sin. He overcame death and rose again. He died on the cross for my sins. The moment we believe this from our hearts, our dead spirit comes back to life and is reconnected to God. This is what the Bible means by being born again. “You were dead in your transgressions and sins, but God made you alive” (Ephesians 2:1).

Being born again is not the result of our effort or will. It is not a reward for good works. It is a free gift from God and pure grace. Because of this, no one can boast. We can only receive it with gratitude.

When we are born again, God gives us the Holy Spirit as a gift. From that moment, we no longer live with ourselves at the center of life. We live with Jesus Christ as the Lord of our lives. Our life is no longer focused only on this visible world but becomes a life moving toward the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.

This means we begin to practice heavenly life on earth. The way of life in heaven is written in the Bible: do not hate, serve others, sacrifice, love one another, give thanks in all things, and rejoice always. As we live by these words, we grow to love Jesus more. Jesus is love, and Jesus is the Word. When we love Jesus, we love His Word. The Bible teaches that obeying His Word is how we truly love Jesus. Being born again is the beginning of a new life and the starting point of true faith.

    The true means of Born again is to born spiritually not physically..
    When we have starts bonding 💝 with our lord Jesus Christ , and starts to forgive other’s, starts not to hate others, starts to walk in the path of jesus, so it’s called to born again..
    I think 🤔 I am not in this stage now. Because still I hate someone’s and felt difficult to forgive anyone..But I pray to god make me like a spiritual girl who will walk only in your path.. Amen 🙏✨

  3. इस वचन से मैं यह सीखा कि परमेश्वर ने हमे भूमि कि मिट्टी से बनाया है और प्रभु पार्पिहित हैं आदम ने वृक्ष से फल खा लिया और हम लोग पापी बन गए और प्रभु ने हमे अंधेरे से रोशनी में लाया आमीन

  4. Praise the Lord everyone
    Ham apni Buri aadaton Ko Chhod Dete Hain aur Paap Mein Jivan Jeena Chhod Dete Hain aur Prabhu Yishu Masih ke anusar Jivan jeena Shuru Karte Hain tab Hamara nai Siri se Janm Lena Shuru Hota Hai
    Amen

    सचमुच में मरी हुई थी, लेकिन हमारे यीशु मसीह ने मुझे आत्मिक रूप से जीवन दिया है। जैसे कि वचन में लिखा है “यदि तुम मुझसे प्रेम करते हो तो मेरे आज्ञाओं का पालन करों”। लेकिन मुझसे ज्यादा प्रेम तो पिता
    परमेश्वर ने किया जिन्होंने अपने एकलौते पुत्र को बलिदान कर दिया। मैं अपने प्रेमी पिता परमेश्वर कि आज्ञाओं को मानने वाली बनाने के लिए बहुत ही ज्यादा प्रेम से प्रार्थना कर रही हूं।
    (Amen)

  7. Praise the Lord.
    Being born again is not something we received because we did something good but it’s because of God’s Pure Grace and Gift of God.
    I was so thankful for the Lord’s Love and I want to understand more deeply the meaning in it.
    Thankyou mb study…

    Hello everyone,
    सांसारिक लोगो में नए सिरे से जन्म लेने का मतलब है की हमारी मरी हुई आत्मा को पुनः जीवित किया जा सकता है
    परमेश्वर ने अपने हाथो से मिटी को निकालकर उसको सानकर आदम और हव्वा को बनाए । इसी कारण मनुष्य को जीवन प्राप्त हुआ
    हम पाप करते चले आए इसीलिए हम आंतरिक जीवन नहीं जीने पाए ।नए सिरे से जन्म लेना हमारे इच्छा का परिणाम नहीं है
    आमीन 🙏

    जय मसीह की ,सच में हमारा भी नए सिरे से जन्म हुआ है। हमारी आत्मा मरी हुई थी और हम मृत्यु के लिए नियुक्त थे। लेकिन प्रभु यीशु को उद्धारकर्ता के रूप में ग्रहण करने के बाद हमारी मरी हुई आत्मा फिर से जीवित हो उठी। और यीशु मसीह ने हमें दान के रूप में पवित्र आत्मा प्रदान की। अब हम परमेश्वर की संतान बन गए हैं।

    हे पिता परमेश्वर, धन्यवाद हो कि आपने हमें यीशु मसीह के लहू के द्वारा खरीद लिया और हमें नए सिरे से जन्म दिया।

    1. Amen
      Thank You for helping me understand the grace of rebirth, reviving the life of my spirit that was cut off from God through the blood of Jesus. Loving the Lord, I will happily obey His words and hope to change into a spiritual person day by day. I give all glory to the Lord

  13. By this message I realise that even if I do many good works, even if I leave a good life, I cannot be saved. I can only be saved by the love and grace of God the father. And thanks to Lord Jesus Christ who came to this earth and died for me on the cross and saved me from hell. As this word has taught me that loving Lord means obeying his word. Father I pray to you to please help me and give me Grace to obey God of God so I can truly end with confidence say that I love God and my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

      Through this message I learnt that what is the meaning of born again?
      When Good created the human being gave the breath inside the human then human was spiritually connected with God but because of Adam’s sin now we are not connected with God therefore we are living in this world but our Spirit has already dead night when Lord Jesus Christ came on this earth as a saviour then we begin again through Jesus’ precious blood. Jesus is love n when we love to Lord then we follow his words too…..
