What Does it Mean to be BORN AGAIN?

 

Here's what it means to be born again.

23 Being born again, 

not of corruptible seed, 

but of incorruptible, 

by the word of God, 

which liveth and abideth for ever.

1 Peter 1:23 

King James Version


3 There was a man of the Pharisees, 

named Nicodemus, 

a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, 

and said unto him, 

Rabbi, 

we know that thou art a teacher 

come from God: 

for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, 

except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 3:1-8 

King James Version


24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit 

and in truth.

John 4:24 

King James Version


17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.

2 Corinthians 5:17 

King James Version


3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, 

and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, 

who is our life, 

shall appear, 

then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4 

King James Version
