Escorting my wife to the elevator. The rooms, the monitors, the nurses, doctors, and family members. The anticipation and waiting. I look up now and see a photograph taken of me holding my newborn daughter twelve and a half years ago.
Ye Must Be Born Again
As amazing as the birth of a child is, it pales in comparison to the miracle of spiritual birth. You see, my children were born physically healthy, and for that I thank God. But they, like every descendant of Adam, were spiritually stillborn. They were born spiritually dead, and they are not alone. You and I and every other person were born dead — dead in sin see Eph. We were born dead because of the sin of our representative head, Adam. And spiritual death is not the end of it. There must be new life, eternal life. Nicodemus is not alone. There are a large number of professing Christians who miss the point.
We are on our death beds, and Jesus offers us the cure. All we have to do is reach out and take it. Or we are drowning and Jesus offers us a life buoy, and all we have to do is grab it to save our lives. The picture painted by Jesus and the apostles, however, is much more bleak. In our natural Adamic state, we are not on our sick beds. We are in the grave. We are not flailing about on the surface of the sea. It is described as a renewing which comes by the Holy Spirit Titus The new birth is a tremendous spiritual change accomplished in the human heart by the Holy Spirit.

It is not just being forgiven for past sins; it is being made over again! God in His grace offers a change in human nature—a change so decisive that the dominion of sin is broken.

The new birth is a mystery you cannot really explain; but at the same time it is a reality that no person can explain away. The new birth is accomplished by the Holy Spirit working quietly in the believing heart, but the Holy Spirit only performs the change when there is at least a threefold human response. Our definitions of sin are often very shallow, and we fail to realize how seriously all of us have offended God.
Repentance is a reversal of our attitudes. Those who repent reverse their attitude toward sin. Those who repent reverse their attitude toward God.
They are especially grieved at the particular sin of having rejected Christ for so many years. Those who repent reverse their attitude toward themselves. Instead of justifying their wrongdoing, they become overwhelmed with a sense of their own unworthiness. Repentance is such a sorrow for sin that one is willing to turn from sin with all his heart.
It means to keep on believing. The emphasis is not on one isolated moment of faith, but on a continuous attitude of faith in Jesus Christ and of submission to Him. The individual follows the Lord in the experience of water baptism, seeks fellowship in a Bibleteaching church, and makes a commitment to walk day by day with the Lord Jesus.
The new birth, then, is an inner moral transformation accomplished by the Holy Spirit, but in order to experience that transformation, there must be a human response. People do not necessarily weep or shout or tremble when the new birth occurs.
Ye Must Be Born Again
Jesus says that the new birth is in many ways like the wind John , and all of us know that a wind does not always blow the same way. Sometimes it blows up a severe storm a tornado, cyclone, or hurricane —but more often the wind settles down to a gentle evening breeze. Just so, our experiences of conversion the new birth vary a great deal. There are those whose conversions are almost cyclonic; they are born again in thunder and lightning and storm. The Apostle Paul, on the road to Damascus, experienced a sudden light and voice from heaven.
But others have a much less dramatic experience. In earlier years, they had godly parents who daily gathered around the family altar. They had been spared the depths of the most wicked kinds of sins. But still, they have been born with sinful tendencies, with natures inclined to sin—and even in early years—gave expression to selfwill, and bouts with anger, and the like. Their conversion is often as simple and as natural as the gentle blowing of a summer breeze.
Such a conversion can be just as genuine as the conversion of one who for many years was living in the depths of sin, and then had an explosive conversion experience. We are moral beings.
We are also worshipers. Some worship false gods, of course, and some claim not to worship God at all.
But even atheists worship heroes and ideologies. The fact that man is a moral being who worships shows the remnant of the spirit still within us. Being born again simply means having our spiritually dead part brought back to life by the infusion of the Holy Spirit. Some feel that it is harsh to say that those who are not born again will not go to heaven. Of course, God is drawing people so that they will be born again. But unless a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. He could not grasp them. He was thinking in human terms rather than spiritual.
