John 1:12-13

"Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, not of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."

When you welcome Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, you are reborn spiritually, and receive new life from God.Eventually, this new birth changes you from the inside out, by rearranging your attitudes, desires, and motives.

Compare this new life to the process you go through as a human being. When you were born you were made physically alive into your parent's family. But you did not yet have spiritual (eternal) life. Being born of God makes you spiritually alive and puts you in God's family. God is perfect--more loving and sensitive to your needs than any human parent can possibly be. When you ask Christ to make you a new person, you will receive a fresh start in life, as you discover spiritual life for the first time.
