John 3:5
Jesus answered, truly. Truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
John chapter 3, 1 to 8. Jesus discusses one of the foundational doctrines of teachings of the Christian faith that is spiritual birth.
What is born of water has been debated, by many Bible Scholars. Some say water means, natural birth of a man, others believe that it signifies spiritual cleansing by the word of God. There are others who say that Jesus was probably referring to the cleansing or the spiritual purifying work of the Holy Spirit as it is given in Titus 3 5 it says the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.
One thing is the Regeneration or the spiritual birth is an inward recreating of a spiritual person, spiritually, a life transforming, a change or wreak making of a person's attitude thinking action and occurs from inside out, It marks the beginning of a new and a personal relationship with God, for those who yield their life to Christ. So spiritual birth is a way, a person becomes a child of God and a new creation. As per second Corinthians 5 17. It says, if you are in a Christ, you are a new creation, all things are passed away, behold, everything becomes new. A person who is born again Spiritually will no longer confirm or live according to the characters or the influence of the ungodly beliefs behavior and lifestyle of the world. I had rebirth or a spiritual birth and a born again experience 40 years back. I could remember the place where I had this rebirth, It was in A small house in a place called Jayanagar in Bangalore. On that day, my life changed. I started looking to God. I started reading my Bible every day, along with my wife every day night, I started to have the thirst and the hunger for Godly things and I started to come out of my sinful life. My entire life turned on that day, it's 40 years and God has been with me. I want to tell you. It is an experience which everyone of Christians have to go through. That is the spiritual birth. Have you had the spiritual birth in your life? Hallelujah. Will pray for you.
Prayer
