In this episode, I point out that the New Testament was written in Greek. With that in mind, I explain that the Greek word translated as "again" in English is "anothen," which means "again" and "above". In addition to presenting verses that explain how being born again happens, I use again and above to guard against thinking that "I am a Christian" when you are not born again - and also thinking that I am "born again" when you are not born again. Note: A Christian is someone who is born again, nothing more, less, or in between. Considering how the church is presenting a watered-down gospel, I fear that thinking I am a Christian when you aren't a Christian is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

In this episode, I take you on a journey through Scripture that will explain why Jesus said, "You must be born again." Also, why does it determine our eternal destiny, and separates Jesus from founders of other religions and what they teach?

If you tuned in to this episode before the one that leads up to it, I suggest you listen to that one first. In this episode, which begins where the initial one ended, I share how I came to know God at the age of twenty, broken and damaged by sexual abuse at fourteen that tore "me" out of "me" - and that Jesus restored the life that I had been robbed of - a better life than I could have imagined, now and for eternity! I pray that my story will be of encouragement to you. Dennis
