AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. |
Bible Question: what it is to be born again? |
Bible Answer: I think II Cor 5:17 explains it most eloquently. (Also John 3:3). One who is born again will see the Kingdom of God. To do so, one must be "reborn" into the body of Christ, believe in Him, as Savior. |
