New Birth (Part 1)

In the Bible, conversion and new birth (or: being born again) are discussed.

The emphasis in conversion is on what a man must do to be saved. He must:

  • turn to God in repentance and conversion
  • make a confession of guilt and believe in the Lord Jesus

In new birth, the emphasis is on what God does with dead sinners. He

  • gives new life
  • grants a new nature, and
  • shapes us into a new creation

The Bible verse in this regard states: "God ... who ... has begotten us again ..." (1 Peter 1:3).

In this lesson, we will discuss the necessity of the new birth, the means that enable the new birth, and the characteristics of the new birth.

Your response:

  • is flesh. (Verse 6)
  • born
  • which is
  • of the flesh
  • That
