HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN
   Some people say: ˙"Why all this fuss 
about being born again? Why are so many 
talking about it?" 
   Nicodemus,  ˙who was a 'ruler of the 
Jews'  during  Christ's  day,  ˙came to 
Jesus asking for advice. ˙Jesus' simple 
answer: "Except a man be born again, he 
cannot see the kingdom of God."  ˙(John 
3:3) 
   Some   today,  like Nicodemus, ˙will 
ask, ˙"How can a man be born again when 
he is old? Can he enter the second time 
into  ˙his  mother's womb and be born?" 
(John 3:4)  But  Jesus  answers, ˙"That 
which  is born of  flesh is flesh, ˙and 
that  which  is born  of the Spirit ˙is 
spirit,"  ˙stating  again that one must 
experience a spiritual rebirth in order 
to ˙enter heaven   -   "YE MUST BE BORN 
AGAIN." -A VERY PERSONAL QUESTION-
   Have  you been born again? ˙have you 
experienced  this  spiritual  ˙rebirth? 
This is the one thing, according to the 
Word of God,  ˙that will determine your 
eternal destiny. 
   For  ˙those  who really want to know 
how  to  be  born  again,  ˙here is the 
answer from God's inerrant Word: 
   We ˙must RECOGNIZE the  FACT that we 
are  sinners,  ˙that  we  have violated 
God's laws (and we ALL have). God says, 
"ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF ˙THE 
GLORY OF GOD    ........ ˙THERE IS NONE 
RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE ... ˙THERE IS NOT 
A ˙JUST MAN UPON EARTH  THAT DOETH GOOD 
AND SINNETH NOT ...  ˙IF WE SAY THAT WE 
HAVE NOT SINNED,   ˙WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, 
AND  HIS WORD  IS NOT IN US."  ˙(Romans 
3:23,10) 
   We  must  REPENT  of  our sins. ˙The 
Bible says:   ˙God   commandeth all men 
everywhere to repent."    ˙(Acts 17:30) 
Jesus said, "Except ye repent, ye shall 
all likewise perish." (Luke 13:30) 
   It ˙is ˙not so difficult ˙to ˙repent 
when we pause to THINK of what our sins 
have cost us,   cost our friends,  ˙and 
cost our loved ones - but, most of all, 
of what that have cost GOD. 
   It was for our sins, yours and mine, 
that God, ˙the CREATOR and KING of this 
universe, left heaven and came to earth 
in ˙˙the ˙person ˙of ˙the ˙Lord  ˙Jesus 
Christ, ˙˙to suffer and bleed and die - 
that WE might be free. 
  "Hereby PERCEIVE we the love of ˙God, 
because ˙HE laid down HIS life of ˙us." 
(I John 3:16) 
   We ˙must ˙RECEIVE ˙Christ ˙INTO ˙our 
hearts and lives as our PERSONAL Savior 
and ˙Lord. ˙˙We can read ˙John's ˙words 
about Jesus in the first chapter: 
  "He ˙was in the world, ˙and the world 
was made by Him, and the world knew Him 
not. ˙He came unto His own, and His own 
received ˙Him ˙not. ˙˙But ˙as ˙many ˙as 
RECEIVED Him, ˙to THEM gave He power to 
become ˙the sons of God, ˙even to ˙them 
that believe on His name."  ˙(John 1:1-
13) --THE PROMISE OF GOD-
   The moment we open our hearts to the 
Lord ˙Jesus, ˙˙and place ˙our ˙complete 
trust ˙in Him, ˙and Him alone, ˙as ˙our 
Savior, ˙˙God ˙promises to forgive ˙our 
sins, save our soul, and reserve for us 
a ˙home ˙in ˙heaven so ˙that, ˙˙on ˙the 
authority ˙of the Word of God, ˙we ˙can 
KNOW where we will spend eternity. ˙God 
tells us: 
   "These ˙things have I ˙written ˙unto 
you that believe on the name of the Son 
of ˙God; ˙that ye may know that ye have 
eternal ˙life." ˙(I John ˙5:13) ˙˙Jesus 
promises: 
   "He ˙˙that ˙heareth ˙my ˙word, ˙˙and 
believeth ˙on ˙Him that sent me, ˙˙hath 
everlasting ˙life, ˙and shall not ˙come 
into condemnation; ˙but is passed ˙from 
death unto life." (John 5:24) 
   You ˙can ˙be ˙born again ˙SIMPLY ˙by 
praying and asking Jesus Christ to work 
this miracle in your life. ˙You can ˙do 
it AT THIS VERY MOMENT. ˙Although it is 
your ˙HEART'S attitude that counts, ˙we 
suggest ˙the following prayer that ˙may 
guide you. 
   "JESUS, I AM WILLING TO REPENT OF MY 
SINS ˙AND ˙RECEIVE YOU AS ˙MY ˙PERSONAL 
SAVIOR AND LORD. ˙I ˙WANT TO PUT YOU IN 
COMPLETE CHARGE OF MY LIFE. I TURN FROM 
MY OWN PATH AND REPENT OF MY ˙DIRECTION 
AND ASK FOR YOU TO FORGIVE ME. ˙I THANK 
YOU FOR PAYING THE PENALTY FOR MY ˙SINS 
AND ˙I THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE. ˙˙THANK 
YOU, ˙˙˙GOD, ˙˙FOR ˙MAKING ˙ME ˙A ˙˙NEW 
CREATURE." ------JUST IN CASE-----
   In ˙many mailings you receive, ˙˙you 
come ˙across ˙a folded ˙paper ˙that ˙is 
labeled ˙"DO ˙NOT READ UNLESS YOU ˙HAVE 
DECIDED NOT TO BUY, ETC..." This is our 
communication. 
   If you are thinking about NOT making 
this ˙decision, ˙˙we want to ˙make ˙one 
final comment. 
   God ˙is not someone or something you 
should try to explain away ... ˙or even 
pretend ˙He isn't there, ˙that ˙is ˙not 
important! ˙Instead, ˙why not reach out 
and ˙commit yourself to HIM completely? 
Pray ˙the ˙above prayer or ˙words ˙that 
come from your heart and MEAN it! 
   Just ˙like that - you will ˙be ˙BORN 
AGAIN, and you will find you have taken 
the ˙first step on an exciting, ˙˙mind-
boggling ˙˙˙eternal ˙˙˙adventure ˙˙˙˙of 
fellowship ˙˙with ˙the ˙God ˙˙of ˙˙this 
universe. ˙˙An adventure that can ˙take 
you through the pressures of this ˙life 
like ˙˙NOTHING ˙you ˙have ˙EVER ˙˙tried 
before. ˙˙God promises that He will not 
send ˙us ˙ANYWHERE ˙that ˙He ˙has ˙˙not 
already prepared the way. ˙Rest in HIM. 
Come to HIM.
