We have read in the Bible where Jesus says that we must be born again.
John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
The Bible says that all have sinned.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
And also that the wages of sin is death.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Notice in this verse that the Bible says the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So God’s word says that if we call upon the name of the Lord we can be saved.
Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
So, as God’s word says we can confess the name of Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead thus we can be saved.
Romans 10:9,10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
And then the Bible says that we become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Here is how all this works. The word of God explains this in Ezekiel chapter 36.
Ezekiel explains That God will take out our stony heart of sin and give us a fleshly heart that loves Him.
Ezekiel 36:26 “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”
Then Ezekiel explains that God will put His spirit in us so that we can walk in His statutes. We will be able to walk in righteousness.
Ezekiel 36:27 “And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”
Ezekiel explains that then we can go to heaven to be with Him.
Ezekiel 36:28 “And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”
Jesus says in God’s word that he is coming back to take us to our new home.
John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
