Jesus taught that a man"Must be born again" and "Except a man be born again; he (or she) cannot see the Kingdom of God...Except a man born of water and of Spirit, he (or she) cannot enter into the Kingdom of God...Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven... except you repent, you shall all likewise perish" (John 3:1-8; Matthew 18:3; Luke 13:1-5).

The "New Birth" is a necessity to being "Saved" and to having the right relationship to God so that one can claim the benefits of the Bible. The "New Birth" is "Not" Confirmation, Church Membership, Water Baptism, Taking the Sacrament, Observing Religious duties, an Intellectual reception of Christianity, Orthodoxy of Faith, Going to Church, Saying Prayers, Reading the Bible, Memorizing Creeds, Being Moral, Being Cultured or Refined, Doing Good Deeds, Doing Your Best, Being as good as the next fellow, or any of the other things men are trusting in to "Save" them.

Every man who is "Born Again" will automatically have the above external evidences of a good life by virtue of the "New Birth," but there are millions, it is sad to say, that are trusting these things to "save them," and they really believe that these things are the evidences of a right relationship with God. Millions will die and be "Lost" without the "New Birth" because they have been misled concerning the experience of being "Born Again," listening instead to some religious leaders.

It would be wise for you to make sure of your "Salvation" by going to the Bible yourself and seeing with your own eyes and knowing in your own "Heart" that you are right with God and that you have had the "Real New Birth" and that you are living right with God every day.

You are either "Born Again" or you are not! You are either "Saved" or you are "Deceived" into thinking that you are and you are "Lost."

Culture, refinement. and outward correctness of life in the Church or out of it will not take the place of the "New Birth." The trouble is in the "Heart" (Mark7:18-23), and merely to reform the outward life will not save you.

The Fact is that "Outside of Jesus Christ" every man is rotten in the "Heart," and mere Culture, Refinement, Outward respectability, Morality, and Outward correctness, are simply artificial and the "Practice of Hypocrites" who, like whited sepulchres, make clean the outside; but within are full of Extortion and Excess..."Dead men's bones, and all Uncleanness." (Matthew 23:25-28)
