HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN IN JESUS CHRIST

One Methods: A Simple Key to Christianity

Know the mystery of God: namely, Jesus Christ [the anointed], in whom is hidden all the treasures of wisdom... (Colossians 2:3)

So, be born again as a Christian, but what does that mean... "What good will it do for a man if he gains the whole world, yet [forfeits] his soul? Or, what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26) To many, being Christian is simply "admire Jesus" and probably "go to church," but that is not it according to the Bible. Do what Jesus said; He said many things including: "believe; repent; receive God's Holy Spirit -- and love one another", and clearly Jesus said:
"Do not wonder that I say that, 'You must be born again.'"
But how do you start and do that?

Steps

    1
    Believe there is the Jehovah/God: but that alone is only a starting point... "You believe that there is one God; you do well -- the Devils believe and tremble..." (James 2:19)  Check into that...
    • Respect God: "The fear (respect) of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge..." (Proverbs 1:7)
  2. Image titled Be Born Again Step 2
    2
    Be Baptized in the Name of the lord Jesus Christ (acts 2:38). "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned." (Mark 16:16)  You must believe in Jesus Christ. You can be baptized either way. But, you are not saved, if you don't have faith in Jesus Christ. In John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me..."

    Repent, turn around, and follow Jesus, so that you can be born again as Jesus said: "You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'..." (John 3:7)

    Jesus said, "I tell you... unless you repent: you shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)
  4. Image titled Be Born Again Step 4

    Pray to God and in Jesus name, repenting, admitting your wrongs, yield, turn to God and "acknowledge the Lord in all your ways..."

    Receive the Holy Spirit as part of your new life in Christ, and live in your new status as God's child; adopted joint heir with Jesus Christ. So, if you are saved, converted from your old life, "reborn spiritually", then you have received the Holy Spirit as Jesus said:
    • "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." (John 16:7)
    • The Holy Spirit is as Jesus promised -- "... a comforter to abide with you forever..." who shall help understanding and remembering the things of God -- and
      • "You shall receive power [the gifts of the Holy Spirit] when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:8)
  6. Image titled Be Born Again Step 6

    Realize that you are not ruled by your flesh: (Romans 8:9)
    • "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature (the flesh), but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you."
    • "And, Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His."

    Live for God as a Christian: saved/filled with the Holy Spirit, serving Him through helping others including to see others come into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ...
    • Act upon the words of Jesus in the Bible: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock." (Matthew 7:24-25)
      • Be a fisher-of-man: as Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you a fisher of men'...", to Simon Peter, and also "Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a 'fisher of men'." (Luke 5:10)
      • Proclaim the good news in order to win souls as Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world, and proclaim the good news (gospel) [to everyone]." (Mark 16:15)
  8. Image titled Be Born Again Step 8

    Be aware of the elements of salvation as: you are "...saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God... saved to good works foreordained that you do them..." (Ephesians 2:8-10) 
  9. Image titled Be Born Again Step 9
    9
    Follow Jesus, and win souls to Christ: "He who wins souls is wise."(Proverbs 11:30) 
    • Add those souls to God's kingdom: "All who were saved were added to the church daily." (Acts 2:47)
    • Agree in faith as a Christian to be of one mind in the Body of Christ and agree to the same attitude that Christ Jesus had: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" (Philippians 2:5) 
  10. Image titled Be Born Again Step 10
    10
    Accept that for a born again Christian to live is Christ as "...it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God... (Galatians 2:20)He walks with you and in you. So, agree with Christ and live His way and be blessed.
  11. 11
    Live in the Spirit, as born again Christians, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own..." (1 Corinthians 6:19) 
    • The gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit is as 'Helper,' 'Guide,' 'Comforter,' 'Counselor,' 'Supporter,' 'Spirit of Christ,' 'Spirit of Truth,' 'Spirit of Grace,' 'Spirit of God Almighty,' 'Spirit of God,' 'Holy Breath,' 'Almighty Breath,' and 'Giver of Life.'
  12. 12
    Realize that being re-born may be explained as receiving or being filled "with the Holy Spirit" as 'Spirit filled Christians'; you will find accounts, of people who have experienced extraordinary, life changing "rebirth" with other miracles -- for your encouragement of what God can do for you and yours, as a born again Christian ("joint-heir with Jesus Christ").

A Simple Key to Christianity

  1. Image titled Be Born Again Step 11
    1
    Learn about Jesus, and believe that He died, rose from the dead as your Savior, and then talk to the one, true God. Repent - say and mean it that you want to change -- saying something similar to: "I am sorry for my sin, all my wrong doing; I want to change my mind, my life, and I truly thank you for your gift of The Holy Spirit and for everything you, Lord, have done, and that I am now forgiven and saved from the penalty for my sins as a free gift, in Jesus' name."
  2. Image titled Be Born Again Step 12
    2
    Tell others that "There is one Christ Jesus, the Son of God, who is Lord and Savior for everyone who believes, repents and follows him:" which should include going to Christian meetings, being baptized as a sign of accepting your new life, seeking to be filled and led by the Holy Spirit, praying to God, showing God's love by kindness, forgiving others, making peace, agreeing in prayer with other believers, and when you sin asking for (and accepting) forgiveness, expecting consequences for some wrongs and going on, all in Christ Jesus' holy name -- with God the Father as the one, true Judge of all things good or bad.

Is Jesus God?

Is Jesus God? Is Jesus God? The Historical Dispute Is Jesus God? The answer to this question is the only real dispute surrounding the  historical Jesus . No legitimate scholar today denies that Jesus is a historic figure that walked on this earth about 2,000 years ago, that he did remarkable wonders and acts of charity, and that He died a horrible death on a Roman cross just outside Jerusalem. The emotionally-charged dispute focuses specifically on whether Jesus was God incarnate who  rose from the dead  three days after His  Crucifixion . Is Jesus God? The Only Alternatives Is Jesus God? Many people have dealt with this "spiritual" dispute by intellectually accepting Jesus as a great man, great teacher, or great prophet. However, Jesus and His inspired followers didn't mince words when they declared Him to be God ( John 10:30-38 ,  Matthew 16:13-17 ,  Mark 14:61-64 ,  John 14:6 ,  Hebrews 1:8 ,  Colossians 1:16 ,  John 12:40-41 ...
