Jesus answered and said to him, “ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

What does it mean to be a born-again Christian?

I remember when I came, and I mean really came, to the Lord to have Him save me.  I thought the term born-again was funky.  I think the labels that we put on people are silly.  I determined long ago that when people asked me about religion or anything in regards to my faith I was just going to say, “I follow Jesus”.  But it is clear in the word about being born-again.   One of the most learned scholars of that time came to the Lord seeking information.  He knew deep inside there was something different about Jesus.  Jesus told him that it was not by the seeking after knowledge that he would enter into this kingdom….it was by faith and that you had to be reborn again.  To be truly born-again is something that is supernatural that comes from within.  It is not something that you can make happen.  When this takes place though everything seems new…you will truly feel born again.       

“I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

I was watching Evan Almighty and he received a box full of tools from Alpha and Omega Hardware.  Does that have something to do with God? 

Yes.  God states that He is the Alpha and the Omega.  These are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet.  It means that He is the first and He is the last and everything in-between.
