"Born again."

"I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. John 3:5

Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.” John 3:5

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3

"...But unless you repent, you too will all perish." Luke 13:3

To be saved and to inherit blessings promised in the Bible you need definitly to be born again. By the new birth your relationship with God will become right.

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
The new birth is a new creation from above – the direct influence of God’s Word and God’s Spirit toward your life – it will change your spirit completely if you have really repented and turned to God.
This new birth will be completed in the following manner:
- Confess that you are a sinner, lost, without God and without hope (Romans 3:23)
- Believe that Jesus Christ died in the cross to save you from sin, through His precious blood.
- When you are coming to God repent from your sins by turning away from them and rely on the blood of Jesus and you will be born again.
- Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God forgave your sins and that He is cleansing you from all iniquity.
The new birth takes place immidiately. This is a gift of God that you will receive in the moment of believing.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
