EVA:How to be born again

   Some people say: "Why all this fuss about being born again? Why are
so many talking about it?"

   Nicodemus, who was a ruler of the Jews' during Christ's day, came to
Jesus asking for advice. Jesus' simple answer: "Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)

   Some today, like Nicodemus, will ask, "How can a man be born again
when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and
be born?" (John 3:4) But Jesus answers, "That which is born of flesh is
flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit," stating again
that one must experience a spiritual rebirth in order to enter heaven -
"YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN."

   -A VERY PERSONAL QUESTION-

   Have you been born again? have you experienced this spiritual
rebirth? This is the one thing, according to the Word of God, that will
determine your eternal destiny.

   For those who really want to know how to be born again, here is the
answer from God's inerrant Word:

   We must RECOGNIZE that FACT that we are sinners, that we have
violated God's laws (and we ALL have). God says, "ALL HAVE SINNED AND
COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD ... THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE
... THERE IS NOT A JUST MAN UPON EARTH THAT DOETH GOOD AND SINNETH NOT
... IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, AND HIS WORD
IS NOT IN US." (Romans 3:23,10)

   We must REPENT of our sins. The Bible says: God commandeth all men
everywhere to repent." (Acts 17:30) Jesus said, "Except ye repent, ye
shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:30)

   It is not so difficult to repent when we pause to THINK of what our
sins have cost us, cost our friends, and cost our loved ones - but,
most of all, of what they have cost GOD.

   It was for our sins, yours and mine, that God, the CREATOR and KING
of this universe, left heaven and came to earth in the person of the
Lord, Jesus Christ, to suffer and bleed and die - that WE might be
free. "Hereby PERCEIVE we the love of God, because HE laid down HIS
life of us." (I John 3:16)

   We must RECEIVE Christ INTO our hearts and lives as our PERSONAL
Savior and Lord. We can read John's words about Jesus in the first
chapter:

   "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world
knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But
as many as RECEIVED Him, to THEM gave He power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:1-13)

   -THE PROMISE OF GOD-

   The moment we open our hearts to the Lord Jesus, and place our
complete trust in Him, and Him alone, as our Savior, God promises to
forgive our sins, save our soul, and reserve for us a home in heaven so
that, on the authority of the Word of God, we can KNOW where we will
spend eternity. God tells us: "These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye
have eternal life." (I John 5:13) Jesus promises: "He that heareth my
word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
(John 5:24)

   You can be born again SIMPLY by praying and asking Jesus Christ to
work this miracle in your life. You can do it AT THIS VERY MOMENT.
Although it is your HEART'S attitude that counts, we suggest the
following prayer that may guide you:

   "JESUS, I AM WILLING TO REPENT OF MY SINS AND RECEIVE YOU AS MY
PERSONAL SAVIOR AND LORD. I WANT TO PUT YOU IN COMPLETE CHARGE OF MY
LIFE. I TURN FROM MY OWN PATH AND REPENT OF MY DIRECTION AND ASK FOR
YOU TO FORGIVE ME. I THANK YOU FOR PAYING THE PENALTY FOR MY SINS AND I
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE. THANK YOU, GOD, FOR MAKING ME A NEW CREATURE."

   -JUST IN CASE-

   In many mailings you receive, you come across a folded paper that is
labeled "DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE DECIDED NOT TO BUY, ETC..." This
is our communication. If you are thinking about NOT making this
decision, we want to make one final comment.

   God is not someone or something you should try to explain away ...
or even pretend He isn't there, that is not important! Instead, why not
reach out and commit yourself to HIM completely? Pray the above prayer
or words that come from your heart and MEAN it!

   Just like that - you will be BORN AGAIN, and you will find you have
taken the first step on an exciting, mind-boggling eternal adventure of
fellowship with the God of this universe. An adventure that can take
you through the pressures of this life like NOTHING you have EVER tried
before. God promises that He will not send us ANYWHERE that He has not
already prepared the way. Rest in HIM. Come to HIM.
