Every human being has been physically birthed into the human race. What Jesus is saying here is that in order to experience eternal life we MUST be birthed into His spiritual eternal family.
To
be "Born Again" is to be birthed of God and in a very real
and powerful life changing experience, one that I have personally
experienced. I wasn't raised as a Christian or involved with Church.
It was at the age of 26 that I received Jesus Christ as my personal
Lord and Savior. Outwardly I appeared successful but inside I had
such rage. It was said of me by a very godly senior lady that if it
was impossible for someone to be saved I would be the one. Prior to
my salvation experience I thought that Christians were people who
couldn't make it through life without a crutch.
Prior
to being "Born Again" I was really struggling with what
life was really all about. Where had we come from? Where were we
going? What about after death, etc.? I still recall the night on
January 28, 1975 when I turned my life over to Christ, when I invited
Him into my life to be Lord. There's simply no human words to
accurately express the peace and joy that flooded my inner being.
That marked such a wonderful and powerful change. It actually started
a "change process" that continues to this very day. Like
John.3:8 says, you can't see the Spirit of God in the Born Again
Believer but you sure can see the changes He makes.
If
you haven't experienced being Born Again, Born of God I certainly
encourage you to seriously consider turning to the Lord. He wants you do for you what you can never do for yourself.
