description: When Jesus said to Nicodemus You must be born again the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what Jesus meant. It would seem nothing has changed. Today born again Christians fill churches that are seen as ineffectual at best and even characterised by the mosaic generation as unchristian. The term born again has been devalued both in society and in the church. Those claiming to be born again live lives that are indistinguishable from those who dont; they sin the same embrace injustice the same covet the same do almost everything the same. Being born again is now defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. When Jesus said to Nicodemus You must be born again (John 3:7) he was not sharing interesting and unimportant information. He was leading him to eternal life If he does that for you (or if he already has) then you are (or you will be) truly invincibly finally alive. John Piper
