If You Are Born Again

You may not comprehend all the movements of the Holy Spirit in new birth. If you are born again, your faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is mystery involved in new birth (John 3:8). Jesus taught that people enter the kingdom of God through new birth (John 3:5). It is a work of the Holy Spirit changing your heart to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:30-31).

The Bible confirms the assurance of those who are born again. "Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of him" (1 John 5:1). If you are born again, your faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you are born again, you truly believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. What is the gospel of Christ? He died for our sins. He is risen from the dead as our Lord (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The written word of God and faith in the risen Christ is the evidence of our new birth. That's certainly true for all who are born again.

If you are born again, you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah in the Old Testament and revealed as the Christ in the New Testament. If you are born again, your faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the reason Charles Spurgeon wrote, "You are born again, if you believe Jesus is the Christ."
