Born Again
We are living in days of increasing danger. While we may not fear it nor be downhearted, it is certain that all of us will soon be in eternity. In view of this, provision for salvation has been made in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. By His death and victorious resurrection He has broken down every barrier, and provided a perfect ground for our acceptance before God.
Nothing could be simpler than the conversion of a soul to God, but it is a personal matter between God and the sinner, and must be settled in this life. The Lord Jesus plainly stated, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Many think that the great change of being “born again” is unnecessary. Some think that if they “do their best,” and “live up to” their convictions, it will be all right with them in the end. However, remember, the Word of the living God says, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Believe, therefore, with your heart on the Lord Jesus Christ, for “whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God” (1 John 5:1).
