CHILD FRIENDLY ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?

John 3:1-7

 

Have you ever asked yourself this very important question: Are you born again? 

It’s not just a church word or something people say—it’s the most important question in life!

What does it mean to be born again? 

When we are born the first time, we are born into this world. But the Bible says we are born with sin in our hearts. Sin separates us from God. That’s why Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:1–7 that we must be born again—not just born in the body, but born in the Spirit.

Being born again does not mean just being good, going to church, or doing nice things. It means letting Jesus give you a new heart and a new life. Only the Holy Spirit can make this happen.

You cannot go to heaven by:

*   Going to church

*   Giving money

*   Being nice

*   Getting baptized 

Memory Verse: “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’” John 3:3

These things are good, but they cannot save you. The only way is to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

When you are born again, you become a new creation. The old life is gone, and the new life begins (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Why is this important?

Because without being born again, we cannot enter God’s kingdom. Jesus said so! It’s like starting life all over again—but this time with Jesus living in your heart.

How can you be born again?

Just pray and ask Jesus to forgive your sins and come into your heart. Tell Him you want Him to be your Lord and Savior.

Reflection Questions

1.  Did you ever think being good or going to church was enough to go to heaven?

2.  What does John 3:1–7 teach you about being born again?

3.  What can you do today to make sure you are truly born again?

4.  If you are already born again, how can you tell others about Jesus?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for me. I am sorry for my sins. Please forgive me and come into my heart. Be my Lord and Savior. Make me a new person and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Shalom!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
