When you were born again, what actually changed?

Many Christians know the Bible says they are a new creation, but they still wrestle with old habits, old desires, old thoughts, and familiar struggles. That can leave you wondering, “If I really gave my life to God, why do I still feel like this?”

In this episode of the Simple Truth Podcast, Ted Ross explains what happened to your spirit when you were born again. Salvation is not self-improvement, behavior modification, or simply trying harder to become a better person. Scripture teaches that sin left us spiritually dead and disconnected from the life of God, but through the new birth, God makes the spirit alive.

This matters because your spirit has been made alive to God, while your soul is still being renewed and your body still needs to be presented to Him. That is why a Christian can be truly saved and still experience real struggle. The answer is to learn how to walk according to the Spirit, renew your soul, and present your body to God in your renewed life.

Key teaching points:
• Why self-improvement cannot solve spiritual death
• What Jesus meant when He said, “You must be born again”
• What your spirit is and how it relates to God
• Why becoming a new creation begins with God’s work in your spirit
• Why Christians still struggle after being born again
• How to walk in new life through discernment, a Spirit-focused mind, and abiding in Christ

Listen to the full episode to gain biblical clarity, strengthen your Christian growth, and learn how to walk in the new life God has given you.
