Between stimulus and response there is a Gap. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl

BORN AGAIN:
James Finlen, May 2011
I get it—I was skeptical, too. The idea of being “born again” sounded almost magical, like something that just wasn’t possible. But then, I took the step.
So what happened? Here’s the short version: we all carry the weight of sin and shame—yes, even you. Maybe you don’t realize it, or maybe pride gets in the way, but we all have regrets and fall short.
The real change comes when you put in the effort to learn about Jesus. As you do, you begin to understand and truly believe that He died on the cross to take away that sin and shame, giving you a chance to be “born again in spirit.” The process looks like this:
Learn – Dive into who Jesus is and what He did.
Recognize – See where you fall short and accept the power of His forgiveness.
Act – Declare your faith publicly through baptism.
Here’s what I learned: when you fully believe and take that step of faith, your spirit is renewed. You begin to see life differently—more gratefully, with a sense of purpose. You start looking for ways to serve others because it just makes sense.
Think about it: if Jesus gave His life to serve you in the most powerful way—opening the gates to eternal life—then wouldn’t it be only natural to dedicate your life to His mission? To share the good news and help others find that same connection to salvation?
