Jesus said, The phrase "born again" applies to people who have accepted Jesus as their Savior or Redeemer. To be born again in this sense is not an actual physical rebirth, but it indicates a spiritual rebirth.
The born-again soul realizes that they are a sinner
(Romans 3:23) and that the penalty for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). To rectify
the circumstances, God sent His only Son to die in our place, to take the punishment
for sin (Romans 5:8) that we so richly deserve.
After Jesus’ death, He arose from the dead (1
Corinthians 15:3-6). Jesus provides the blessing of salvation as the only way to
God (John 14:6). Each person has the choice to receive or reject God’s gift
through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) and experience new birth (John 3:1-8). Whoever follows
Jesus as Christ, the Son of God, and has accepted His gift of life can be called
Christian. That is where the journey of rebirth begins.
THE GOSPEL
Concerning the validity of the Bible: The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses, they reported supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are Devine rather than human in origin. Worship involves giving to God the honor which He deserves, encompassing all of life as we do whatever we do in a way that honors God (Romans 12:1-2) and through honoring God in songs of praise, praying to God, hearing God’s Word, and taking the Lord’s Supper.
