You Say You Are a Christian Have You Been Born Again?

So many people in the church think they are Christians but they have never been Born Again, the Bible way. I was one of those people. I grew up in the church and was a good and faithful church-worker. I thought I was a Christian based on my performances. I saw good people but I didn't see people living out the Word of God. I was always in the church and doing my job. But thank God I came to know the truth from the Word of God. I heard the message of Jesus, and how I had to put my faith in Him to be saved. That was the only way to be saved or born again. My works or goodness couldn't save me. I trusted Jesus to save me and He did. I was born again the Bible way. Through this experience I learned that you aren't a Christian just because you say you are a Christian. You can look good on the outside and still have a dirty heart. You can play church and stop sinning as you see it, but you still must be born again. You are a Christian because you have been born again by placing your faith in Jesus Christ to save you. I then learned who I was in Christ. I was now a new person inside. My old life was gone and all things were new. I renewed my mind by studying the Word of God. I began to see me as this new person. Don't stop at getting born again. Find out who you are in Christ so you can live a victorious life and please your Father. You are a brand new person on the inside. Once you start reading the Word of God and letting it renew your mind, you will begin to see the change on the outside.
