- How can you be absolutely certain that you've been born again? This question is one that we often hear, and it expresses some degree of concern over the authenticity of one's salvation. In today's Little Lesson we begin to take a look at three tests from 1 John that you can use to determine whether or not you have been born again. You can be sure about your salvation!

Thank you for a well done and clear teaching on this subject. So many of us struggle with knowing how much we fall short of God's glory.
Jesus is my Lord and Saviour✝️🙏🙌
This is my wife phone I need y'all to pray for me I do love the lord I trying so hard not to sin anymore I ask God to forgive me my name is Charles I love what your doing and I love all of you in Jesus name Amen.
Dear Mr. Charles, I will pray for you. But I also want to say this, please start reading the bible out loud daily or get audio bible app and listen to the New Testament. Allow the word of God to sanctify you and transform your sinful ways. Please remember that no man is without sin, as Christian we do our best not to commit premeditated sins. An example " I know I am going out this weekend and I plan to get drunk." I plan to cuss someone out, or let them have a piece of my mind." These are sins that can be avoided and its best to avoid them. Stay blessed!
The gift of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior. Romans six:23
Just believe in you and God talk to him in spirit 😇 and you will be alright god bless 🙏
Give God all of your worries and concerns and He will change you, you don’t have to change before you go to Him. Give Him all control and you’ll see how He changes your mind and heart when it comes to sin.
Ask the Holy Spirit to re-sensitize your conscience!! He uses this to "fix" your path. Let everything you do be for the glory of God.
I have repented confessed and accepted Jesus into my heart Amen ❤️❤️❤️ i Trust The Lord
Lets go, Praise The Lord✝️❤️🙏 stand firm in the faith and always trust in God’s everlasting Love. Praying for you, please pray for me too as I struggle to trust God. God bless
And stand firm ❤❤🎉 For the lord will soon return
Yes me too
we are all sinners, and we have broken Gods law. Therefore we all deserve hell. But God was merciful and sent Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, His Son, to die for the sins of those who would believe in Him. He lived a sinless life, then he died on the cross,taking the wrath of God we deserved.onto himself. He rose again 3 days later to defeat death for all of those who would put their trust in him. If you repent of your sin and place your faith in Christ, He will save you from hell. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only way to enter heaven.
Brother David, I don't know how I came across your videos. But I thank God I did, you are truly a man of God, I love the way you teach these lessons. I am going to recommend your channel to as many people as possible. May the Lord bless you abundantly!
A man is pretty good❤
Simple. Your life is transformed. You are changed immediately. It is a work of the Holy Spirit. You know yourself.
I love these simple clear and direct messages. The love of God and his will for us shines through you
Love you, brother David.
Thank you for the encouragement! God bless you.
Amen
*The only way to be 100% sure you are born again is for the Holy Spirit confirming it. Scripture is clear on this in Romans 8:16 where it says that the Holy Spirit will bear witness with our spirit that we have indeed been adopted. The Holy Spirit will fill you (Acts 4:31) and you will definitely feel his presence. To me, I was shaken to the core and distinctly heard God's voice. If you have not felt God's presence, you are not born again. God will never turn you away. In fact, if you have prayed with all sincerity, it's only a matter of time before God makes his presence known to you. God bless.*
@endtimesareuponus8930 That goes without saying obviously because it is the Spirit that compels us to obey! We can do nothing on our own. But the initial confirmation does indeed come from the Spirit.
@endtimesareuponus8930 but when God makes himself known to you it lights a fire in you to chase after him
You are a blessing brother. And the Lord has also given you a warm smile! Haha. God bless you. 💕
I'll let this guy try to please God by trying not to sin. I will please my God by believing in the complete forgiveness he accomplished for me on the cross., so i can live my life resting and growing in him!
Faith in Jesus + Repentance = Salvation ! You must be Born Again with Holy Spirit! 💗
Faith in Jesus is repentance?
As soon as you are born again, you receive the spirit of God
Repentance is faith in Jesus.
Born Again = Baptism
@@PokerMonkeyspiritually baptized. Not h20 baptism
Thanks for the message. I found your channel l ast night, and now I can feel it's not just coincident.
It helps me to understand how to be righteous.
I want to leave my sinful way of life and turn to God.
Thank you so much. I know these things take a lot of work and effort to produce. But know this, I and many are blessed by your teaching. Well done!
Correct, a true Christian will not practice sin
We are born in SIN because Adam our 1st human representative disobeyed GOD .
GOD loves us so much he created a way for us to be set free from bondage of sin + Spiritual death /separatation from GOD. JESUS (2nd Adam) was human yet GOD birth, Death for our SIN & Ressurection . If we accept Christ JESUS as our Saviour& Only way to Salvation GOD is faithful to Forgive 🙏
If we were without SIN we would not need a Saviour. GOD created us he knows of our sinful nature . We are imperfect.The Holy Spirit convicts us if we have been born Again. We sincerely try to live as Jesus , but when we fall short we seek forgiveness & HE is faithful to Forgive.
True Christian ity is a life long journey. He asks us to try & seek His help .Apart from Christ & without the Holy Spirit to guide us in surrendering our will for His we can not achieve the image of JESUS.
🙏Paul struggled with sin throughout this life.
We then have Hope that although we will All face physical death once in our lives we will be reunited with those gone before us in Heaven . JESUS/GOD will judge us on what we have done & how we have treated others in our lives. He will pour out HIS Wrath on ALL who have rejected him .For Salvation is available for ALL who sincerely seek it. Yet many reject Him . He will reject those who have rejected Him +not confessed their SIN & invited Him into their hearts & Lives.
Seek Him while HE may be found ✝️🛐🙏
Barbara Walters Very well worded.. I needed to hear that. Thank you so much, God bless you :)
But we still do it anyways. A cycle of sin is what you meant to say
@@barbaraa.walters8798 YOUR ARTICLE IS EXCELLENT EXCEPT EVERYONE WILL NOT DIE.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord,. Eternal life is a free gift from God because Jesus paid our sin debt in full, and we can no longer be condemned. John 3:18 First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. We all sin, but our sin debt is paid. Only a sinner saved by grace. Romans 11:6 AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, OR NOT AT ALL BECAUSE NO SINNER CAN SAVE HIMSELF OR PAY HIS OWN DEBT. John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that ALL that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life, and I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY.
Hello brother, and thank you for these videos. Since being born again in 2014 I have struggled from time to time with wondering if I'm actually saved. In my heart of hearts I have a desire to serve the Lord and honor Him with my life, but at the same time I find myself stumbling with things that I say or attitudes that I hold. I do believe that when I sin that I feel and hear the Holy Spirit reminding me that what I have said or thought or done isn't what honors God. So I'm pretty sure that I'm saved and born again, but sometimes I worry.
You're trusting yourself for "evidence" of faith. But you're not trusting the OBJECT of your faith--Jesus Christ Himself.
The assurance of the Believers
Salvation is based on what God has done for you through the Lord Jesus Christ not on what you have done for Him.
If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who died on your place for the payment of your sins and rose again from the dead, then you are saved already from God's wrath and punishment.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4;
Romans 5:8-10
He made no difference between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith (by a strong and welcome conviction that Jesus is the Messiah, through Whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God).
And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through the offering made once for all of the body of JESUS CHRIST (the Anointed One).
For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy.
And He will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication; He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be] guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). And don’t make the Holy Spirit sad. God gave you His Spirit as proof that you belong to Him and that He will keep you safe until the day He makes you free.
Because of these promises of God's Word that we are saved by God's grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ let us dedicate ourselves to doing good, not to be saved but because you are already saved.
Ephesians 2:8-10
In fact, what some true Christians may lose or take away is a crown or a reward when his work is burned or neglected, as the scripture says: If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15
Acts 16:30-31;
Acts 15:9
Hebrews 10:10,14
1 Corinthians 1:8
Ephesians 4:30
The more we keep our eyes fixed on the lord, the less we doubt ourself and worry, there will be no question if we are saved if we admit we're a sinner, believe in our hearts that Jesus died for our sins, confess that he is Lord, I understand what you mean as I struggle with this too, because we are not worthy, so we question ourselves if we are born again, the less we are of this world and the more we are in his word, we'll just keep us growing closer to him and walking like him ❤️
Same
Col 2:9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Through the end of the chapter goes with this also.
🙏🏻
Great teaching thank you.
Really simple, through baptism! Born of water and the spirit. Happens at Baptism.
Not one drop of water in the book of john.
Guys, just remember this, Peter sinned AFTER being saved and was still considered SAVED. Remember when Peter denied knowing Jesus three times? That's a pretty bad sin and he seen Jesus in person which makes it even worst. He did that sin after he was already and apostle of Jesus. In the end, Peter is still saved.
That should ease some of your doubts if you are doubting wither you are saved because you sinned after being a christian.
I'm not making excuses for sin because there is never excuse to sin.
My point is simply that obviously first John cannot possibly mean anytime someone sins they have no truth as in salvation ever because if that was the case then Peter wouldn't be saved as soon as he denied Jesus 3 times yet we all know Jesus still loved Peter because of what happened after
I think it's basically just saying that your overall life should be radically different, and yes when we sin it does make us a liar because there is never an excuse to sin and technically whenever we sin yes you could say we aren't practicing the truth in the middle of a sin
But that doesn't automatically mean we are lost or not saved anymore
If that was the case Peter would not be saved when he denied Jesus 3 times
That's my take on it
If I ever have a doubt I always just remember the sins that the apostles did and realize they were the closest to Jesus and still messed up
I look at their sin not to justify my own sin and not to want to sin but just to remember that IF you sin it doesn't mean you are lost person
That's my 2 cents
Amen!
Thanks. This has helped me a whole lot
God bless you❤️🤗
I love this man 👨
Hi David! Born Again that He is around you in presence to see the Kingdom of God that you are learning or listening Him the better of Truth to become more knowledge such as 9 spiritual gifts.That is main things to do! Key verse John 3:8 the Wind!
am following .. happy also to have personally met you
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way..
Believe means to be persuaded or convinced
Jesus is the Christ
Christ means Messiah/Savior
Jesus Christ is the Son of God
He Saves people from Everlasting Death
He Died on the Cross, was buried, and Rose again on the third day. He Conquered Death for all Humans, no matter who they are or what they have done or will do.
Salvation
To believe in Jesus Christ, is to believe that he is the Christ (Messiah), The Son of God, and to believe that he gives everlasting life to all who believe in him.
New King James Version
John 6:47
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
1 John 5:1
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him
Once Saved Always Saved
John 6:37
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
God Bless you...dear servant of God.
There are no "three tests" for assurance of salvation. Paul never preached any three tests. The problem with fruit inspection is that we will find, always and without exception, that we fall far short of the glory of God. Then we start to have doubts and allow Satan to take our joy away. We have assurance of salvation by the fact that God cannot lie, and that we have a deposit of the Holy Spirit in us as God's pledge that He will keep His word. Don't look to yourselves. You won't find any peace. Look to God, because He will keep His word.
That’s what happening to me. I’m doubting my salvation. My peace and joy are gone. I’m praying to God to let me know If I’m saved or be deceiving myself for years.
No we don't its a race that Paul talks about you can only run it you have the spit of God Titus 3:5
King James Version
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; If you don't stay up in the holy spirt you will fill the lust of the flesh and you will not bring fruit unto Righteousness Walk in the spirt but you can only do that if you get your eyes off the world you cant be in both places the holy spirt is the hole key When you go to church and worship that filling of the holy spirt you get you have to walk in that you cant take your eyes off that you have to stay in that filling God bless
@@Rol0123 if you've called on the name of the Lord, repented (turning away from what you did in the past) asked for forgiveness and set a new path, you're born again. I asked the Holy Spirit to re-sensitize my consciousness and boy be careful what you pray for! I use to be a thief (downloading movies and so forth, nothing like taking something from someone) now I can't even take a drink from someone's fridge without feeling guilty and letting them know I grabbed a drink. I replace it of course. Be very careful what you pray for BUT conviction sets your path correct! That's the whole point of conviction! It's like the tracks of the train! Without them you crash and burn. The Holy Spirit is the tracks and shows us what we've done wrong and helps correct us. God CORRECTS THE ONES HE LOVES HALLELUJAH!!!! DON'T RUN FROM CORRECTION BUT RATHER RUN TO IT!
@@JF32304 By allowing conviction and feelings guide your path you are trying to live by the law whether you believe that or not. The Holy spirit doesn't convict you of the wrong things you have done, the devil does. it's a battle of good and evil and your mind is the battle field. Trust and rest in the promises of God and let him battle for you".
@@bereangirl7118 umm yeah the Holy Spirit convicts you. He doesn't condemn you, but he passes conviction to keep you inline. He's like the tracks of a train.... Without the tracks the train would be destroyed.
I believe and know that the Lord is real I need to make Him (Jesus) Lord of my life by practicing what He preaches. In other words by daily putting faith into action. By living faith.
AMEN
He died once for ALL ,
Past Sin ,present sin & future in. None is perfect no not one. What is Important we must stay rooted in the WORD & daily take inventory seeking GOD'S Forgiveness.
Never go to bed without Prayer of Thanksgiving GOD for getting us through the day. In the morning when I rise I do devotions ( read GOD's WORD) Prayer of Thanksgiving for all GOD's generous Provison)
The Holy Spirit will let us know when you go wrong. Seek God's forgiveness asap that is the best way to discipline yourself & be released from the burden of that sin whether sin of omission or comission . Also gives gratitude for giving me another day.(not all will receive this gift). I ask for GOD's Guidance to do His will in Jesus name. I read the Bible & Think on what I have read .
I ask GOD to reveal what he wants me to teach me from His Word. Throughout the day I often chat with GOD through thoughts concerning how he would have me to proceed with situations I encounter or messages He wishes me to impart to someone seeking my help. I Love the LORD with ALL my heart ❤️🙏
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES JESUS ASSURED US THAT WE WILL BE FORGIVEN FOR ALL SIN ALL MANNER OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY ACCEPT THE BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT.

@@barbaraa.walters8798 I .accept Jesus I believe He died fornmy sins. I've said the prayer a Lot. But sometimes I just feel so far away cuz of all my mistakes.n how God isnquiet I probs justneed to listen more but I feel like I could pass away any time soon now. :( I pray for Gods grace and mercy. Ik I'm a. Sinner ... I'm trying to be better. I just hope God wants to forgive my past sins w m marriage wengbad my ex was mean to me. Had a lot of breakups which involved me in thebarms of someone else sometimes then back together it was toxic. Finally filed for divorce and its almost finalized. I have a bf sorta tho and he's not a believer so its hard. Idk what to do deal w my sudden health issues that struck terribly and suddenly. I just pray and lean on God. Hoping he understands. Bless u for responding poshaste. I feel like I've backslid so much even after accetingtyebknowlesge of God making me a fool.

And worry a lot ik its bad
Romans 8 brings me comfort
I believe and of course theirs concern for i aim to be perfect and holy... I have slip ups and to be honest they are not as much as they were in the past year...
Father search my Heart🙏Teach me to hate sin Father👑JESUS HE>¡
like Paul washer said "its not talking about perfectionism, but about a lifestyle"
What if you commit sin and you say "Sorry Lord Sorry"
Would that be counted as a sign of genuine Christian?
What if when you say cuss words and you say "Sorry Lord Sorry" would that count as a sign that you are a "Genuine Christian"?
What if you feel something that is not right on the Lord, for example being glad that the person who scolds you died, and you say "Sorry Lord Sorry" and ask God to remove that feeling would that "sign of Genuine Christian"?
Thank you! Rock-solid theology! Much appreciated.
If anyone has to ask that question? You probably are not. Like falling in love, it's no doubt. You drastically change as who you was before. It's all you all are all you think about. Love of God and Gods will, and hatred of your old self and it's sinful will. Not a water bath, a special prayer, a tithe or a pastors approval. Like the thief on the cross. To come to place you say "Lord, I believe you, save me"
According to who? If a person doubts does that mean they're not "saved"? According to what? Also Did Doubting Thomas doubted?
I was born again but keep back sliding, I really want to be truly born again, I think my conversion wasn't genuine, I'm autistic and mentally ill as well as health problems and disabilities, trauma, ptsd etc, please will some pray for me please, God knows it all what horrors I've been through since birth 😢
I understand you. I also have severe trauma and mental illness. Health problems.. . God bless you i pray for you that you will be reborn again from now !!!
God bless you too
Pauls' writings must always be viewed in the proper context in order to have a proper understanding of them.
All of Pauls' letters begin with the words, "..to the saints of. ". These are not evangelistic letters to win sinners to Christ but further instructions in the faith to already saved christians.
Paul himelf believed salvation involved faith in action through obedience by repenting, being baptized in the name of Jesus Chrust, and recieving the Holy Spirit with the first evidence of having to recieved being speaking in tongues according to Acts ch.19.
Which is the correct way of baptizing, is it by immersing or sprinkling?
Great video 👍
So I'm trying to stop smoking, its a sin right, smoking right? Help me.
We can’t help you and you can’t help yourself. You’re trusting yourself to stop. Just turn away from smoking and start letting God do the work. You’ve got to stop and he’ll help you
It has been hard being a christian. But I want to go all for God.. I feel I have had alot of trials n tests. These have been going on for some time now. I believe in the name of Jesus Christ and I ha e been walking with the Lord for long while. I have suffered alot of persecution tho from those who meant to love me. I have suffered alot lately with hurts n pains. I sometimes ask if I am with God as it feels i am far away but then when I call out to him he is there right away. My husband is the one who doesn't speak right to me he speaks horrible to me. Had alot of ugliness around me for some reason. Why is this. When I am going for God.
Just keep seeking him and I don’t know but it sounds like your husband is mad at you for seeking Jesus if that’s the case pray for him and asks God to bring him closer to him
God bless you
Why do you believe in god?
@@bbrantley26 Because, He made everything that we can see with our physical eyes and everything that is unseen as well. Accept JESUS as your LORD and Savior and you will definitely believe in Him too. 🙏✝️🕊
"Satan, who is the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don't believe.
They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News.
They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God."
~ 2 Corinthians 4:4
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
~ 1 Corinthians 1:18-19
"Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."
~ Romans 1:22-25

Thank you so much God bless you hug 🙏
is that like if we are in the 7h commandment i have been with my husband 28 years and my first husband who walked out on me with 2 young kids and left us to go back to Australia and i was in the uk am i still sinning by being with my second husband for 28 years we both are Christians
Im very confused by this issue because I dont want to sin but I fall to the same sin over and over again I woulld say Im living in defeat and tbe sorrow I once had over sin isnt as strong now but I want to love God be Holy etc but its like I have no strength against sin which bothers me because God should be my strength I know we fall but with me its constant about once a week to the same sin I also dont think I k kw His voice and I lack desire to be in the word there is desire there but I go to other things all the time the pull is to strong somehow not all sinful things but in a way still sin because im putting it before God I just dont get it its like im a contrdiction I have things that say im a Christian other things say im not its awful ☹
Please seek out Christian fellowship (a church) and friends who can help you. Sometimes a simple thing like being accountable to others can turn the tide.🙏🏻
Hahaha! Trust and believe if you’re truly born again there is ZERO doubt. You ever doubt or fear again after seeing that experience not to mention you literally are a different person than you were before.
According to what? Did Doubting Thomas doubted?
Those very scriptures delivered me from sin. I love God. I couldn't stand being the way those scriptures say about people who practice sin. It made me sick. Another scripture that convicted me and made me feel sick, Proverbs 26:11, as a dog returns to his vomit, so is a man (fool it says) returns to his folly or foolishness. Eww!! Lord help those who are in habitual sin. They need u. May they be sanctified in the truth of your Word. Lead them not into temptation, but show them away of escape. Thank you Father and let it be for your Glory. It will be a testimony of your goodness. In Jesus Name!🥰🙏❤
I have been to heaven a few times i took a walk with John the Baptist
Tell us more please
can you make a video about your experiences?
Really?
Hahaha nobody is going to believe that nor should they
Stop lying
Born Again = Baptism. See John ch 3. What does Jesus do in verse 22? Also, You are lying when you say you are not saved by Following the Commandments. Ever bother to read things like Matt 19:17-19? "Entering Life", like going to heaven, sounds important. I'll take Jesus over you and you Fallible, Unauthoritative, Nonbinding misinterpretation of the Bible.
I know for a fact that I probably have the Holy Spirit because I have people always at work that doesn't appreciate me and they don't really like talking to me or something like that and it's like they tried staying away from me or something because I'm with the Lord and I understand that they probably are kept away from me because the Lord doesn't want them messing with me several times to just put me down and stuff so he takes control of everything for me at work
I have received Christ and yet a life of backslidden years then I keep falling am I really born again
I confess my sins and somehow I fall again
Am I born again
Why do I keep falling
No prb not
It's very tough being in this earth.. the lord knows your heart

Catholics and Protestants agree that to be saved, you have to be born again. Jesus said so: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).
When a Catholic says that he has been “born again,” he refers to the transformation that God’s grace accomplished in him during baptism. Evangelical Protestants typically mean something quite different when they talk about being “born again.”
For an Evangelical, becoming “born again” often happens like this: He goes to a crusade or a revival where a minister delivers a sermon telling him of his need to be “born again.”
“If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and believe he died for your sins, you’ll be born again!” says the preacher. So the gentleman makes “a decision for Christ” and at the altar call goes forward to be led in “the sinner’s prayer” by the minister. Then the minister tells all who prayed the sinner’s prayer that they have been saved-”born again.” But is the minister right? Not according to the Bible.
The Names of the New Birth
Regeneration (being “born again”) is the transformation from death to life that occurs in our souls when we first come to God and are justified. He washes us clean of our sins and gives us a new nature, breaking the power of sin over us so that we will no longer be its slaves, but its enemies, who must fight it as part of the Christian life (cf. Rom. 6:1-22; Eph. 6:11-17). To understand the biblical teaching of being born again, we must understand the terms it uses to refer to this event.
The term “born again” may not appear in the Bible. The Greek phrase often translated “born again” (gennatha anothen) occurs twice in the Bible-John 3:3 and 3:7-and there is a question of how it should be translated. The Greek word anothen sometimes can be translated “again,” but in the New Testament, it most often means “from above.” In the King James Version, the only two times it is translated “again” are in John 3:3 and 3:7; every other time it is given a different rendering.
Another term is “regeneration.” When referring to something that occurs in the life of an individual believer, it only appears in Titus 3:5. In other passages, the new birth phenomenon is also described as receiving new life (Rom. 6:4), receiving the circumcision of the heart (Rom. 2:29; Col. 2:11-12), and becoming a “new creation” (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15).
Regeneration in John 3
These different ways of talking about being “born again” describe effects of baptism, which Christ speaks of in John 3:5 as being “born of water and the Spirit.” In Greek, this phrase is, literally, “born of water and Spirit,” indicating one birth of water-and-Spirit, rather than “born of water and of the Spirit,” as though it meant two different births-one birth of water and one birth of the Spirit.
In the water-and-Spirit rebirth that takes place at baptism, the repentant sinner is transformed from a state of sin to the state of grace. Peter mentioned this transformation from sin to grace when he exhorted people to “be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38).
The context of Jesus’ statements in John 3 makes it clear that he was referring to water baptism. Shortly before Jesus teaches Nicodemus about the necessity and regenerating effect of baptism, he himself was baptized by John the Baptist, and the circumstances are striking: Jesus goes down into the water, and as he is baptized, the heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends upon him in the form of a dove, and the voice of God the Father speaks from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son” (cf. Matt. 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:30-34). This scene gives us a graphic depiction of what happens at baptism: We are baptized with water, symbolizing our dying with Christ (Rom. 6:3) and our rising with Christ to the newness of life (Rom. 6:4-5); we receive the gift of sanctifying grace and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:27); and we are adopted as God’s sons (Rom. 8:15-17).
After our Lord’s teaching that it is necessary for salvation to be born from above by water and the Spirit (John 3:1-21), “Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there he remained with them and baptized” (John 3:22).
Then we have the witness of the early Church that John 3:5 refers to baptismal regeneration. This was universally recognized by the early Christians. The Church Fathers were unanimous in teaching this:
In A.D. 151, Justin Martyr wrote, “As many as are persuaded and believe that what we [Christians] teach and say is true . . . are brought by us where there is water and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were ourselves regenerated.” (First Apology 61).
Around 190, Irenaeus, the bishop of Lyons, wrote, “And [Naaman] dipped himself . . . seven times in the Jordan’ [2 Kgs. 5:14]. It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but [this served] as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as newborn babes” (Fragment 34).
In the year 252, Cyprian, the bishop of Carthage, said that when those becoming Christians “receive also the baptism of the Church . . . then finally can they be fully sanctified and be the sons of God . . . since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God’ [John 3:5]” (Letters 71[72]:1).
Augustine wrote, “no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ or death for Christ” (On the Soul and Its Origin 1:10 [A.D. 419]).
Augustine also taught, “The water, therefore, manifesting exteriorly the sacrament of grace, and the Spirit effecting interiorly the benefit of grace, both regenerate in one Christ that man who was generated in Adam” (Letters 98:2 [A.D. 408]).
Regeneration in the New Testament
The truth that regeneration comes through baptism is confirmed elsewhere in the Bible. Paul reminds us in Titus 3:5 that God “saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit.”
Paul also said, “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:3-4).
This teaching-that baptism unites us with Christ’s death and resurrection so that we might die to sin and receive new life-is a key part of Paul’s theology. In Colossians 2:11-13, he tells us, “In [Christ] you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision [of] Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God” (NIV).
May God bless you; and yours...
Wait when i’m born against do i get baptise by the Holy spirit with fire ? It cause i feel for fire for God sometimes
Jesus said that it is better for us to lose a hand or foot or eye and enter life, than with everything complete be cast into Gehenna. He also told the rich young person that to enter life he had to obey the commandments but if we wanted to be perfect he had to sell all that he had and follow him. So there is a condition to enter life and this is obey his commands. When someone obeys Jesus commands, that person is believing in Him. Not believing in him is doing the opposite. Believe is not just agreeing intellectually about who Jesus is but doing what He said we must do. Being born again is a prerequisite for the kingdom of God and by our fruit we know if we truly are born again or not. Furthermore, God’s Spirt testifies to our spirit that we are his children in an unmistakable way.
''Christ follower'' you are very confused or self righteous! I think that you are a person who is mixing grace with the law and that's NOT going to save a person but it's rather an insult towards God Almighty! How to be saved for sure? This is the gospel of salvation 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4. that's it, nothing more and nothing less but you have to believe it!! Try a good teacher because i think you can need some help ''Shane Brother in Christ'' ''Bobby Faulkner'' and ''Truth Time Radio'' are people who are teaching the truth and that's is not very common these days with all these deceivers! Romans chapter 3 verse 4. I hope and pray that our Father in heaven will open many ''deceived'' ears and eyes for the truth,have a blessed day!
Titus 3:5
King James Version
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; you are right and this is how we do it but you have to stay up in the spirt and to do that we have to get are eyes off the world and on him 100% I know it took me 20 years to get it
Cut the world off if not you will fill the lust of the flesh we have to run the race to the end
When you believe in Jesus, you obey his commandments and you have a desire to when you surrender and become born again.
Being Reborn..your decision or Gods ? I am Reborn..love to understand the "mechanics of" I know I can decide to repent and stop my sins and ask for forgiveness...but can one ask to be reborne..2 seperate issues as far as I can tell ?
Memorize this verse. First John 1:8. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, (John 1:12) that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Romans 11:six. AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE. Once you believe you are saved forever. All of your sins are paid and you can no longer be condemned. John 3:18. We can be chastened by the Lord, and lose our rewards in heaven, but not eternal life.
The GIFT of God is eternal life. Not a reward for good behavior. First Corinthians 3;15.
once you are saved, you aren't saved forever. For example if you leave the faith and deny Jesus. Salvation isn't a one time thing.
Hebrews 13:5 For He hath said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU. When we believe that, it brings glory to God. Second Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, (after we have once believed) He abideth faithful, He cannot deny himself. Ephesians 1:13-14. Ephesians 4:30. Romans 8:9 Without the Spirit of God there is no salvation. With the Spirit we are guaranteed eternal life. Gods word, and He cannot lie.
For God so loved the world, that HE gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. When we believe that it brings glory to God.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, hath everlasting life. Gods word, and He cannot lie.
John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that all that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise Him up on the last day. Gods promise to us. When we believe it, it brings glory to God.
The Gospel. First Corinthians 15:1-4. That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, that He was buried and rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures. When we believe that gospel it brings glory to God.
John 10:28-29 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my Hand. And no one can pluck them out of my Fathers hand. When we believe that, it brings glory to God.
John 3:18 Believers are no longer condemned, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God.
First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
God never gave anyone temporary life, or probationary life. He only gives eternal life.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. Gods word, and He cannot lie.
@@jimkraft9445 None of those verses say you can't lose your salvation.
Do you believe God is a liar? Do you believe John 6:47?. Do you believe John 6:40? Do you believe Jesus died for the sins of the whole world? First John 2:2. Do you believe John 5;24?, Jesus said, John 10:28-29. Jesus said, John 3:16-18. Paul said, Romans 3:26-28, based on First Corinthians 15:1-4. Paul said, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than First Corinthians 15:1-4, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. Galatians 1:6-9.
According to that gospel those who have trusted Jesus as their only hope of heaven, are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise. Hebrews 13:5. For He hath said, I will never leave you or forsake you. John 6:37. He will never cast us out. Ephesians 4:30. And grieve not the Holy Spirit in whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Romans 6:23. For the penalty for sin is death, and we all sin, First John 1:8, and we all die, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE, through Jesus finished work on the Cross.
Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. You cannot boast in 0. Romans 3:26-28. Ephesians 2:8-9. For by grace ye are saved, through FAITH, and that not of yourselves, (no one can save themselves) IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. Mathew 7:21-23. There will be no boasting in heaven. You cannot boast in free.
I cannot go to hell even if I wanted to. I have no sins to pay for. Jesus died and took the punishment for my sins so I do not have to go to hell to pay for them. Romans 11:6. Jesus paid the debt and set me free. John 3:18. Believers are no longer condemned to hell, but UNBELIEVERS are condemned already, because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. John 3:36. King James Version. John 1:12.
The GIFT of God is eternal life. Once you accept the gift, you cannot lose it because it is eternal. John 6:47.
If what I wrote is not true, then you can walk right up to God and call Him a liar, because it is HIS WORD. But God cannot lie. John 6:47. First Timothy 2:13. If we believe not, (after we have once believed it) He abideth faithful, He cannot deny Himself. First Timothy 2:19. Ephesians 1:13-14. The GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE. Once you accept it , you cannot lose it. We can be chastened by the Lord, for living in sin, Colossians 3:5-6, But He will never cast us out. And we can earn rewards in heaven through good works after we have received the free gift of eternal life. First Corinthians 3:11-15.

Take up your cross daily, and follow Him.
Please seek out Christian fellowship (a church) and friends who can help you. Sometimes a simple thing like being accountable to others can turn the tide.🙏🏻

"How many spirits are there? Every Christian speaks about being born again differently. We should speak as Jesus did. Only Jesus knows whether we are born again."
As a human baby we don't know the moment we were born because we do not have the mental capacity to understand what occurred or when. As adults though we do experience and know when exactly it occurred.
To truly be born again is to recieve the Holy Spirit which occurs as the result of the Holy Spirit baptism which we recieve, after belief, repentance, and water baptism by fervently seeking for it in prayer. The Word " recieve" in the N.T. original Greek means " to take hold of".
All who were born again in the book of Acts knew exactly when it occurred. I'm sure they never forgot that moment when the Spirit of God entered their bodies, who could ?
God, in His infinite wisdom, didn't leave it up to another man or themselves to say when it had
actually occurred but provided an indisputable supernatural sign that they had, speaking in tongues.A manifestation of the Holy Spirits presence within them that they would have the rest of their lives as a spiritual prayer language.
Yetyetyet, it would be nice if one had somekind of heavenly (identic) experience as a clear start for your new life.
After that you still had to 'make it real' in daily life. But things are what they are.
I subbed because of your nice hair.
We do NOT get saved by believing in Jesus name. That was for the Jews in the 4 gospels, and that He was the Christ the Son of God. John tells us this in John 20:31.
Today we are saved by believing Jesus died on the cross, shedding His blood, was buried, and rose from the death. for the forgiveness of our sins. By believing this and putting our trust in this gospel message alone, by faith we are saved. Eph 2:8-9, Titus 3:5-6, I Cor 15:1-4. Believe and trust the cross work alone by faith, is what saves us. Not by believing in His name. This gospel is ONLY found in the epistles written by the Apostle to the Gentiles - Paul. Rom - Phil.
The doctrine that D&K Grace teaches takes away repentance, takes away the words of Christ, takes away the gospel of Christ, takes away the kingdom of God, takes away baptism for the remission of sin, and makes the words of Paul more authoritative than the words of Jesus. His false doctrine takes away large portions of the bible. He does not know the difference between a gentile and a Jew in the bible. Stay away from this false doctrine that he teaches.
There is no difference in the gospel plan of salvation for the jews than there is for the gentiles. Paul said that there is" neither jew nor gentile, slave nor free, male nor female for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gal.3:28).
@@robertnieten7259 Thank you for your comment. Yes, you are correct. Now in the body of Christ there is no difference between Jews or Gentiles. But in the 4 gospel books that was NOT true. Jesus said Himself there was a separation between Jews and Gentiles.
Matt 15:24 KJV But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
BUT NOW with the saving of Paul and the new gospel message Jesus gave to Paul for us today to be saved by, there is no difference. We are all one in Christ who have believed and put their trust in this new gospel of the grace of God, we get only from Paul.
@@dkgrace6743 Thank you for your comment. I agree.that the focus of the Lords' message in the four gospels was the jews.
The only change came in Acts ch.10 where the Jewish christians realized that God was also including the gentiles in salvation.Whereas the gentiles having believed Peters' message tecieved the Holy Spirit, spoke in tongues, and were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. This is Acts 2:38s plan of salvation, taking into account that the gentiles were water baptized after recieving the Holy Spirit.
Once again in Acts ch.19 Paul still operated from Acts 2:38 towards the disciples he encountered I've heard many say that there was a change in the gospel plan of salvation by Paul in Roman's. I disagree because all of Paul's letters begin with, "..to the saints if.." which are all directed to already saved christians.

FOUR QUESTIONS TO ASK TO UNDERSTAND OUR BIBLE:
When we read and study our bible rightly divided (II Tim 2:15) there are at least 4 questions we should ask, to help get a better understanding of its context.
1. Who is talking?
2. Who is being talked to?
3. What is being said?
4. Can I put myself in this text as being the one being talked to or about?
Then the key is to NOT insert yourself into a passage that you don’t belong in, one that is NOT talking to or about you. If we do, our doctrine will not be correct.
Example: You may think you need to sell all you have or keep the law as Jesus taught in the 4 gospel books. But those two things are not requirements for us today as it was for the Jews under the law to go into their earthly kingdom. We are to listen to Jesus' last words by the person who saw and spoke to Him last for the updated new information Jesus gave to him for us today - that would be Paul. Romans - Philemon. ALL scripture is FOR us but not ALL scripture is written to and about us.
This is backload works.
Amen 🙏🏾
Please pray for me
And what is the commandment of God? That we believe on the son Jesus Christ....Sir I have Jesus rightousness...I have obeyed All the commandments because I am in Christ....now yes if I continue in sin then my relationship with him will suffer but my salvation in solid as a rock! God Bless!
Amen

This a misunderstand of 1st john. Not sure what bible version he using. I just read 1st john 3 and it says nothing of " practicing" as this guy stressed as his major point.
Do you have to be baptized ? I tried at a church where my distant family attended. And the church told me NO... because they dont know anything about me.. can you believe that..
Ive been baptized in the name of jesus christ ACTS 2:38 the only true way to be water by immersion. Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus christ. And recieve the holy spirit we are in the Light. Live for God
Keep trying, baptism was one of Jesus’ commands. 🙏🏻
One of the best ways of knowing is, there is no thought of any existence out side of God.If you could be King of the whole universe and have millions of women falling at your feet.And all known riches that people only dream of,and you could live forever.Andcyou say,no thanks,don't want anything without Jesus.Ill just sit here alone eating crab grass,in dirty cloths,with only Jesus as my friend.Andvyou choose the second option.Youvjustbmught be saved.
John was dealing with proto-Gnostic heresies. Every word in that letter is a refutation of proto-Gnosticism, NOT a treatise on salvation or a checklist to see if one is saved. Galatians deals with works added to faith in Christ. Colossians dealt with ascetic practices in addition to faith. Ephesians doesn't deal with heresy--it is a letter that glories in God's pure grace shown by giving His Son as a ransom for our sins.
When those who should be saved (Acts 2:47) are born again, YAHweh gives them a new heart and replaces their spirit with his Holy Spirit, and they walk in perfect obedience to YAHweh never sinning again -1 John 3:9
Psalms 51:10
Ezekiel 11:19-20
Ezekiel 36:26-27
Jeremiah 32:38-39
AND YET we also hear, "All have sinned..." in Romans, and St. John states "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves" and then goes on to advocate the remedy WHEN WE sin...confession. Even AFTER we are 'born from above', there remains within us the inclination to sin. Ezekiel 18 (the entire chapter) makes clear that after repentance, we FALL BACK INTO SIN and are transferred BACK into the state of reprobation. WHEN this happens, we can repent AGAIN and regain a state of grace. The FICTION that "once we are saved" we NEVER fall back into sin, and therefore can be absolutely "sure" of our salvation is a FICTION. Matthew 25 makes PERFECTLY CLEAR that there are some who go through life DELUDED into SUBJECTIVELY believing they are "saved" who will hear Jesus Christ's OBJECTIVE judgement that they are OUTSIDE the people of God. It is fruitless to spend one's time wringing one's hands whether or not one is "saved". Our focus is to "take up [our] cross daily and follow Him", and pray for the grace, the strength, to persevere to the end.

Brother , I want to say . Some truly born again Christians may sin almost as much as they did before they were saved . 2nd Peter , chapter 1 and verses 8-9-------- For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Peter was writing to Christians . ALL OF GOD'S WORD tells us to live a righteous life in Christ Jesus . It will cost us if we don't !!!!!!!!!!!!! As long as we're in this sinful body , we're susceptible to sin . Besides this , the Apostle Paul tells us that all will be laid in the grave corruptible . One way we know that we have been born again is ; WE KNOW WE PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE BECAUSE WE LOVE THE BRETHREN OF CHRIST . The unsaved world hates Christians . WE LOVE THEM !!!!!!!!!!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ernest E. Johnson

Somebody hasn't read about the Christians in Corinth
It is the uniquely profound error of evangelicals who associate Our Lord’s “born again” statement to Nicodemus in John’s gospel with salvation.
In the history of Christianity no one else has done this. And evangelicals themselves only began doing it in the 19th century with the missions of Billy Sunday and revivalism.
The passage itself in John 3 states that Jesus saw people becoming “born again” all the time, and Our Lord was amazed that Nicodemus, being a spiritual leader of the people, was unfamiliar with it.
The passage is about the life changing ministry of John the Baptist. Thus, born-again does not refer to salvation but the religious experience of spirituality associated with John the Baptist.
There is only one clue you are saved - you love God! Which leads to you hating sin, including your own. Do you like reading the Bible? If you look for it daily in your dealings with the world, you already rely on God, rather than yourself. There is a ton of scripture related to what I am saying. God Bless!

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Luke 22:31
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
Revelation Chapter 12
9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Unfortunately you have been convinced of Calvinistic Religion which can't save anyone. We are born again when we believe in Jesus to save us. The End. To repent simply means we change our minds; from relying on ourselves or anything else, and choose to rely solely on the work of Jesus when he died and rose again. Sanctification is something that happens after we are born again (justified). They are separate things. Your viewpoint backloads the gospel and you will claim that we must see fruit of the spirit to know we are truly saved. Yet if I asked you, you wouldn't be able to tell me how much fruit? When? How quickly do I need to produce it and how much? The result is that you abandon the concept of assurance, and replace it with some arbitrary system of fruit watching. Begin to rely solely on the fact that your belief in Jesus ALONE, aside from any works, saves you. That's how you can be certain. I hope you will reconsider your position and stop teaching a false gospel.
Finally someone with a brain.
If you are judgmental, you are not born again. If you believe in an eternal hell place that you deserve to be thrown into and others you know may end up in, you are not born again. Being born again means being very loving. It is an enlightened beingness. It is unconditional love. Scrooge in The Christmas Carol was born again. Believe in a tormenting tortuous hell is mutually exclusive with enlightenment. One is very very dark and the other is very light. If you are like a little child; playful, joyful, creative, in the moment, then you are born again. If you believe in a judging God who punishes, then you cannot be born again because that belief will weigh you down.
Doesn't matter when you lived or where you lived. If you are focused on love, then you are born again. Love is the answer as Jesus taught. Practice unconditional love. Knowing the historical Jesus is not important because in the history of the earth .9999999% of the people never heard of him or had access to a Bible in their language or could read it. It is about love. Love is God. Love is universal.
The Bible tells me so.
I count it a bit dangerous to doubt on people's salvation.We might do so in a very personal talk to close friends but we can not describe a pattern as the Holy Spirit in us is the ONLY testimony.
So Satan is whisperin "not saved".
So just keep those rules to people personal.
Salvation is a personal matter between God and us just as sexuality is A personal matter.
We ourselves have to study it in the bible but there is no legal right of otgers to doubt our actions of faith.
This is personal. God in us will confirm us.
John 3:16...ONLY ONE CONDITION WHICH IS BELIEVE JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SIN...AT THE MOMENT...YOU ARE BORN AGAIN INSTANTLY AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE NOT TEMPORARILY LIFE WHICH DEPENDS ON YOU OBEDIENCE. DONT BACK OR FRONT LOAD GOSPEL WITH WORK BASED SALVATION. SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT.
BELIEVE = REPENTANCE =SALVATION
(2 SIDE OF A COIN)
HOW CAN YOU BE CERTAIN? When you are no longer flesh. Flesh cannot enter the kingdom. According to who some call, the truth, none are yet born again, saved, nor ascended. Get over it, and get real. Drop the spiritualism, metaphor, allegory, and emotions.
Mt. 10:22, 24:13.
