Being born again is a spiritual transformation that changes everything about how we relate to God. When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about the new birth, He wasn't referring to physical rebirth but to a supernatural spiritual event. This new birth involves believing in Jesus, water baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught through parables like the sower and the seed, showing that our hearts must be prepared like good soil to receive God's word. The new birth isn't just about saying a prayer - it's about entering into partnership with Jesus Christ to make disciples and advance His kingdom.
