Born Twice

John 3:3 KJV Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Born Twice There is a longing within everyone to be a part of a loving family that lasts. In a world of fractured marriages and dysfunctional families, that longing becomes greater. No matter what type of family we're from, God gives all of us a chance to be part of the only family that lasts. We had no choice on our earthly family but we do have a choice on entering God's family through faith. Jesus calls this spiritual birth being "born again." We all have a physical birthday, but not all of us have a spiritual birthday, which comes when we accept God's invitation to trust in Christ as Lord and Savior. With no spiritual birth, we die twice--physically and spiritually. But, with a spiritual birth, we die just once (physically), for our spirit lives forever. Born once, we die twice. Born twice, we die once. If we're born twice, we're saved from spiritual death and we're in the family of God forever.
