Jesus answered: “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot be in God’s kingdom.” (John 3:3 NCV)
“To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new
existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new
tastes, new affections, new likings, new disliking, new fears, new joys, new
sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new
thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and
salvation.” - J.C. Ryle.
“I believe that a great number of people are going to die
and go to hell because they're counting on their religiosity in the church
instead of their relationship with Jesus to get them to heaven. They give lip
service to repentance and faith, but they've never been born again.” - Adrian Rogers.
Peter answered them: “Repent and be baptized, every one of
you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38 EHV)
