Lessons from the Heart
You must be born again
By Pastor Justin Wagner

John 3:3-6: You must be born again.

Have you ever trusted Jesus as your personal savior? Jesus was talking with a man who believed in God and even went through the religious things required of him by the law. He thought it was alright until he began to see something different about Jesus like no other man he had ever seen. Jesus was a man that looked like any other human being. Yet, he was doing miracles by healing the blind, maimed, crippled, raising people from the dead, etc. Nicodemus wondered how this could be. The thought of being born again had never struck Nicodemus and seemed very foreign to him. But, I believe probably Nicodemus caught on and it changed his life forever as we discover in John 19:39 at the crucifixion.

Salvation is a onetime experience. You must acknowledge that you can't change yourself and realize that all you need in life can be found in a personal relationship with Christ. He stands waiting to forgive if you are ready to acknowledge your sin. He will change your life forever and you will have peace like you have never known. Receive Him today. He's waiting.
