What does it truly mean to be born again? In this episode of Take20, we dive into one of the most essential truths of the Christian faith. Jesus Himself declared in John 3:3 (NKJV), “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” This is not a suggestion, it is a necessity. Being born again is not about self-improvement, religious rituals, or trying harder to be a good person. It is a radical transformation, a spiritual rebirth that only comes through faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible makes it clear: we are all born into sin (Romans 3:23) and in desperate need of redemption. No amount of good deeds can make us right with God. But through repentance and faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross, we can be made new. This episode unpacks what it means to truly surrender to Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit in our transformation, and the incredible reality of being adopted into God’s family. When we are born again, the old life is gone, and a new identity in Christ takes its place (2 Corinthians 5:17). If you've ever wondered about the difference between religion and true salvation, or if you’re ready to embrace the life-changing power of the Gospel, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore the beauty, necessity, and power of being born again.
