Are You Truly Born Again? Warren Wiersbe Explains Regeneration

Before there was sanctification, there was regeneration. But what does it really mean to be "born again"? In this message, Brother Carlton continues his series on the key words of the Christian life by examining one of the most important doctrines in all of Scripture: Regeneration—the miraculous work of God whereby He imparts spiritual life to sinners. Drawing from John chapter 3, Titus 3:5, 1 Peter 1:23, and many other passages, this study explores what Jesus meant when He declared to Nicodemus: "Ye must be born again." Many people have religion. Many have made decisions, walked aisles, or grown up in Christian homes. But have they truly experienced the new birth? In this message you'll discover: What regeneration really means. Why being born again is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. The difference between reformation and regeneration. Why salvation cannot be inherited or produced by human effort. What the fruit of genuine conversion looks like. Why false conversions are common in our day. The importance of examining ourselves to see whether we are truly in the faith. Why Jesus said, "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." This is not merely a theological discussion. It is an eternal issue. As Hebrews 9:27 reminds us: If you have ever wondered whether you truly know Christ, or if you desire a deeper understanding of salvation and the new birth, this study is for you. Scriptures discussed include: • John 3 • Titus 3:5 • John 1:13 • 1 Peter 1:23 • John 4 • John 6 • Ephesians 2:1 • Galatians 5 Luke 23:42 • Acts 16 • Hebrews 9:27 If this message was a blessing, please give it a thumbs up.
