Understanding Being Born Again

The concept of being born again appears misunderstood by many. Most people will tell you they want to go to Heaven. Yet the most important qualification for entry into Heaven, being born again (born of water and of the spirit), is not embraced.

This book Begat by God explains why without allowing the cleansing action of Christ, the word of God (being born of water), and the empowerment by the spirit (born of the spirit) to do the works pre-ordained by God, it is impossible to make it into Heaven. Thus being born again simply involves a continuous transformation because of a conscientious effort by an individual to allow God's word (Christ) to dictate his way of life. Entry into Heaven is therefore not about religion, but about a purposeful transformation through Christ.

The Natural and Spiritual Birth

The birth of an offspring always involves the development under water in a confined environment, over a specified time frame, followed by an expulsion into a completely new environment. This book describes the similarities between human physical birth and the spiritual rebirth as in John 3. Thus the invisible attributes of God including His ideas can be gleaned from studying the natural processes of His creation (Romans 1:20).
