Becoming “born again.” Born again. An interesting and yet sort of strange concept. The sound of it is admittedly appealing. Decades later, the Apostle Paul words it a little bit differently for us in saying: “[I]f anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17, ESV). Of course, the glance at our image reflected back to us in a mirror or observing others around us reveals how real our first birth was, our physical birth. We can see the tangible results of birth. But now, now, it’s not just going to be the following of a strict set of rules in a religious community with like minded individuals. No, rather, it’s going to be a change on the inside instead of the outside. It’s not just merely an external change of life, change of the way we do this, that, and the other. Or, the way we relate to people. Sure, it will include those things. Really, though, in reality, it is a change on the inside the results in all those ‘external’ things. It’s a change of the heart.
