Jesus said, The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit (John 3:8). To be born of the Spirit is also known as regeneration. It is being born from above, because the Holy Spirit comes from above
Like the wind, the Holy Spirit works with great power. His power is omnipotent. The wind moves at unexpected times and in unexpected ways. It's hard to explain, and often difficult to understand. The Holy Spirit, like the wind, moves when, where, and how He pleases. To be born of the Spirit is beyond our full comprehension.
If you are born again, you have a change of heart (Ezekiel 36:26). It is the work of only one, the Holy Spirit (John 3:7-8). He enables us to have a genuine love for God and a heart to obey Jesus our Lord. The Holy Spirit works in us, what we could never do for ourselves. To be born again means we become a new creation in Christ (John 3:6; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
If you are born again, you believe and confess that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God (1 John 5:1). We confess Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3). That means we believe that Jesus our Lord is risen from the dead (Romans 10:9).
