                      HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN

.      Some people say: "Why all this fuss about being born again? Why are so 
many talking about it?" 
.     Nicodemus, who was a ruler of the Jews' during Christ's day, came to 
Jesus asking for advice. Jesus' simple answer: "Except a man be born again, he 
cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) 
.     Some today, like Nicodemus, will ask, "How can a man be born again when 
he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?" 
(John 3:4) But Jesus answers, "That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that 
which is born of the Spirit is spirit," stating again that one must experience 
a spiritual rebirth in order to enter heaven - "YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN." 

                   -A VERY PERSONAL QUESTION-

.     Have you been born again? have you experienced this spiritual rebirth? 
This is the one thing, according to the Word of God, that will determine your 
eternal destiny. 
.     For those who really want to know how to be born again, here is the 
answer from God's inerrant Word: 
.     We must RECOGNIZE that FACT that we are sinners, that we have violated 
God's laws (and we ALL have). God says, "ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE 
GLORY OF GOD ... THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE ... THERE IS NOT A JUST 
MAN UPON EARTH THAT DOETH GOOD AND SINNETH NOT ... IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT 
SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US." (Romans 3:23,10) 
.     We must REPENT of our sins. The Bible says: God commandeth all men 
everywhere to repent." (Acts 17:30) Jesus said, "Except ye repent, ye shall 
all likewise perish." (Luke 13:30) 
.     It is not so difficult to repent when we pause to THINK of what our sins 
have cost us, cost our friends, and cost our loved ones - but, most of all, of 
what they have cost GOD. 
.     It was for our sins, yours and mine, that God, the CREATOR and KING of 
this universe, left heaven and came to earth in the person of the Lord, Jesus 
Christ, to suffer and bleed and die - that WE might be free. "Hereby PERCEIVE 
we the love of God, because HE laid down HIS life of us." (I John 3:16) 
.     We must RECEIVE Christ INTO our hearts and lives as our PERSONAL Savior 
and Lord. We can read John's words about Jesus in the first chapter: 
.     "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew 
Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as 
RECEIVED Him, to THEM gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them 
that believe on His name." (John 1:1-13) 

                      -THE PROMISE OF GOD-

.     The moment we open our hearts to the Lord Jesus, and place our complete 
trust in Him, and Him alone, as our Savior, God promises to forgive our sins, 
save our soul, and reserve for us a home in heaven so that, on the authority 
of the Word of God, we can KNOW where we will spend eternity. God tells us: 
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of 
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life." (I John 5:13) Jesus 
promises: "He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath 
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from 
death unto life." (John 5:24) 
.     You can be born again SIMPLY by praying and asking Jesus Christ to work 
this miracle in your life. You can do it AT THIS VERY MOMENT. Although it is 
your HEART'S attitude that counts, we suggest the following prayer that may 
guide you: 
.     "JESUS, I AM WILLING TO REPENT OF MY SINS AND RECEIVE YOU AS MY PERSONAL 
SAVIOR AND LORD. I WANT TO PUT YOU IN COMPLETE CHARGE OF MY LIFE. I TURN FROM 
MY OWN PATH AND REPENT OF MY DIRECTION AND ASK FOR YOU TO FORGIVE ME. I THANK 
YOU FOR PAYING THE PENALTY FOR MY SINS AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE. THANK 
YOU, GOD, FOR MAKING ME A NEW CREATURE." 

                         -JUST IN CASE-

.     In many mailings you receive, you come across a folded paper that is 
labeled "DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE DECIDED NOT TO BUY, ETC..." This is our 
communication. If you are thinking about NOT making this decision, we want to 
make one final comment. 
.     God is not someone or something you should try to explain away ... or 
even pretend He isn't there, that is not important! Instead, why not reach out 
and commit yourself to HIM completely? Pray the above prayer or words that 
come from your heart and MEAN it! 
.     Just like that - you will be BORN AGAIN, and you will find you have 
taken the first step on an exciting, mind-boggling eternal adventure of 
fellowship with the God of this universe. An adventure that can take you 
through the pressures of this life like NOTHING you have EVER tried before. 
God promises that He will not send us ANYWHERE that He has not already 
prepared the way. Rest in HIM. Come to HIM.
