There are \u201cHow To Be Saved\u201d articles all over the internet (and I \n\t\tam thankful for them all), but many people want a complete explanation \n\t\tof what it means to be \u201cborn-again.\u201d Why do we need to be born again? \n\t\tWhat does it mean? That is my purpose in this article, that is, to \n\t\texplain this great Biblical doctrine in layman&#8217;s terms. Please give me a \n\t\tmoment and I will make it as plain as you&#8217;ve ever heard. Most people \n\t\thave religion, but very few people have ever been Biblically born-again. \n\t\tUnless you are born again, you absolutely cannot go to Heaven (John \n\t\t3:5). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, to be \u201cborn  again\u201d means to have He (Jesus) Who is the beginning born in you. In <strong> Revelation 1:8 Jesus said, \u201cI am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the  ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come,  the Almighty.\u201d <\/strong>Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the  Greek alphabet, respectively. Man by birth is spiritually dead, which I  will explain further in a moment. To be born-again is a miracle of God,  by which Jesus Christ comes into your body to live, literally in the  form of the Spirit of God. <strong>Romans 8:9, \u201cBut ye are not in the flesh,  but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now  if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So Then \u2026 What do<a>es It Mean To Be \u201cBorn Again\u201d?<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.jesus-is-savior.com\/Basics\/ye_must_be_born_again.htm What Does It Mean To Be \u201cBorn Again\u201d?
