There is a simple little verse that illustrates our accepting
Jesus Christ as our Savior, in other words, our being born again. It goes like this;
“Born once…die twice; born twice…die once.” This simply reveals that unless
we are born again, we will die twice;
once as a physical death and then a second spiritual death. To only die once
all we must do is accept Christ. Jesus made it so simple for us when He made
His one sacrifice on the cross for
all of our sins.
In Hebrews 10:11 the Bible speaks about all those who go
about doing what they believe are their good works, and making sacrifices for
what they think will gain them forgiveness for their sins, but we learn as we
read this scripture their efforts are all futile since there is only one way to
receive God’s forgiveness and that is to accept His Son, Jesus. When we do we are
then forgiven, and we are born again!
The Bible says in (Hebrews 10:14-18); Because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are
being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he
says: “This is the covenant I will make with them \ after that time, says the
Lord. / I will put my laws into their hearts, / and I will write them on their
minds.” Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts / I will remember no more.”
What a confidence we have as Christians! What joy we have in
Christ Jesus! We are saved…we are saved…we are SAVED! We must go and tell the
world!
