Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John3:3
Entering a saving relationship with Christ is a life-changing experience! All things become new! Not some things, but all things (2Cor. 5 :17) . For the first time in your life, Christ is Lord ; God isMaster. When you become a Christian, Christ’s presence will affectevery part of you. You will have new thoughts, new attitudes, newvalues, and new sensitivities. New priorities will dramatically affectyour relationships. You will view everything in your life from a Christlike perspective.
Christianity is not something you add to yourlife; it is life! Nicodemus thought that salvation meant performingcertain religious exercises and holding to particular religiousteachings. He had no idea of the all-encompassing nature of salvation!When you become a Christian, God gives you a new heart so thateverything becomes new! God gives you a new mind, like that of Christ,so you think differently. He gives you new emotions, so you feeldeeply about completely different matters. You become sensitive tosin, so you are no longer comfortable with it. Your recreation will beaffected as you are made aware of what is honoring to God and what isnot. Your relationships will now be guided by the Holy Spirit.Destructive habits and attitudes, previously immune to change, will betransformed. Have you noticed the changes God has brought to your lifesince you entered a vital relationship with Jesus Christ? Thesechanges should be very noticeable as a testimony of the new life youreceived when you trusted Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
