What is the New Birth? It is a work of God in our hearts that makes us completely new. It is a passing from death to life, from Satan's kingdom to God's, and it will affect every area of our lives. Do you know what all this New Birth really involves?
The Bible is an old book. Most of its writers lived over two thousand years ago, but its message is still fresh and up-to-date. "Ye must be born again," applies as much to us as it did to people back then. But what exactly is the new birth and how can a person know if they have experienced it?

The choice is yours, and the latch is on your side of the door. You may choose the rat race of seeking happiness and success, or the rest of soul that comes from knowing Jesus. But God has set a day when you will be in His hands, and what will He do with you in that day?
When the Holy Spirit quietly moves in the heart of a repentant sinner and changes him into a son of God we call it the new birth. It is a marvelous work of grace that humanly cannot be explained but that must take place if you want to reach Heaven.
