LESSON EXPOSITION 📓📕
📖 Being born again is a term used to describe a spiritual experience where a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and in doing so, experiences a transformation of their heart, mind, and life.
📖 Baptism by water is a significant ritual in Christianity, symbolizing spiritual rebirth, cleansing, and initiation be into the faith.
📖 The concept of being born again is rooted in the Bible, specifically in John 3:3-7, where Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be "born again" to see the kingdom of God.
📖 Jesus explains that this is not a physical rebirth, but a spiritual one, where a person is born of the Spirit.
In essence, being born again means:
1. *Spiritual rebirth*: A person experiences a new birth, a spiritual awakening, where they receive a new nature, a new heart, and a new life.
2. *Accepting Jesus Christ*: A person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, recognizing Him as the Son of God, who died for their sins and rose again to give them eternal life.
3. *Transformation*: A person experiences a transformation of their heart, mind, and life, as they begin to live according to God's will and purposes.
4. *New identity*: A person receives a new identity as a child of God, with a new sense of purpose, belonging, and destiny.
Being born again is not just a one-time event, but a lifelong process of growth, transformation, and maturity in Christ. It's a journey of faith, where a person continually seeks to know, love, and serve God, and to live out their faith in obedience to His Word.
