Christainity what it is to be born again
First lets start with a background of Christianity. What is a Christian? #The term "Christian" comes from the Greek word christianos which means Christ-man, or an adherent of Jesus Christ. In the Bible, this word was first used as a nickname, a term of reproach, because the believers must have given others a feeling that they were absolute for Christ. The apostle Peter used it later to remind the believers to stand firm and not be ashamed. Thus a Christian is a person who is totally full of Christ, occupied by Christ, living out Christ to express Christ, and even living Christ. By this definition, most people who call themselves Christians actually are not. They might have believed and received Christ, yet they are not living as adherents of Christ. That brings up another Question, who is Christ? The name #"Christ" (translated from the Hebrew word Messiah) means the anointed one. Christ was anointed with a special commission. In Genesis, God had created man to contain him as life and to be one with him. However, instead of taking God as life, man took in Satan and was defiled, corrupted, and condemned to die eternally. The Old Testament progressively states that, because he loved man
The next step is to confess your sins. But is the real you alive? Are you alive and full of light inside? Are you at peace with yourself? When Jesus spoke of being born again, he was teaching that the inner man must come alive to God. Christ was anointed to accomplish this commission. What does it mean to be born again? # In John 3:3 Jesus said "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God. This confession is a sign that you have been converted. You are not just a living person, You are truly alive. Now he wants to give man the life he needs. If you speak forth out of your mouth the things you have done wrong and want to get rid of. Then you must confess Christ publicly.
