What is a born again Christian? No matter how many hypocrites we all know in the world ( including me ), a true born again Christian is anyone who has humbly accepted that they are not a good person, but that they are a sinner ( liars, theifs, adulterers, blaphemers, boasters, proud, hard-hearted, etc. ) who’s souls will come before God after their death and will be judged justly for the things they did in their body to themselves and others while they were alive…

In addition they have believed and humbly accepted the offer and the promises of Jesus, who is the only truly innocent man that ever lived on Earth and who as the only begotten Son of God, offered His life as a sacrificial death to pay for their sins in His own innocent blood that was shed on a cross when He was unjustly crucified and killed without a cause.

Finally they have confessed to God that Jesus is Lord, and believed in their HEART that God raised Jesus from death on the third day after his crucifixion, death, and burial, as according to the scriptures in the bible. Instantly upon believing they have been granted pardon for their sins instead of punishment, have been adopted into the family of God, and have been gifted the Holy Spirit of God and become a new person in Him and capable of living for the Spirit of God rather than their old life living for themselves.

Interpretation : 

When we are born into this world in our flesh ( bodies ) we quickly learn to serve our flesh and we often hurt ourselves and others by living for our flesh over the will of God towards all His creation.

God must give us a new heart….and a new spirit…
