Your parents’ religion doesn’t save you.
Your culture doesn’t save you.
Your church attendance doesn’t save you.
You weren’t born a Christian.
You were born a sinner in need of a Savior.
đź‘¶ Born into Sin
Romans 5:12 says, “Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people.”
You didn’t start off right with God.
You were born separated from Him.
That’s why Jesus said plainly:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” — John 3:3
🧬 Being Born Again Is NOT:
- Getting baptized as a baby
- Having Christian parents
- Attending church or youth group
- Repeating a prayer you didn’t mean
✅ Being Born Again Means:
- Real repentance
- A heart transformed by Jesus
- A life led by the Holy Spirit
- A new nature, not just new habits
2 Corinthians 5:17 says,
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
⚠️ Why This Matters
Many people think they’re saved… but they’ve never been born again.
They know about Jesus, but they don’t belong to Him.
They believe with their lips but not their lives.
Jesus said,
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 7:21
đź’¬ Ask Yourself:
- Have I truly repented of my sin?
- Has my heart changed or just my behavior?
- Do I follow Jesus daily, or only by name?
You weren’t born saved.
But you can be born again.
Call on Jesus. Repent. Believe. Follow Him.
This isn’t religion. This is life or death.
