    Product Description

    When Jesus said to Nicodemus, 'You must be born again', the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what Jesus meant. It would seem nothing has changed. Today 'born again Christians' fill churches that are seen as ineffectual at best, and even characterised by the 'mosaic' generation as 'unchristian'.

    The term 'born again' has been devalued both in society and in the church. Those claiming to be 'born again' live lives that are indistinguishable from those who don't; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covert the same, do almost everything the same.

    Being 'born again' is now defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently.

    "When Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be born again" (John 3:7), he was not sharing interesting and unimportant information. He was leading him to eternal life... If he does that for you (or if he already has), then you are (or you will be) truly, invincibly, finally alive." John Piper

    The concept of being “born again” (John 3:3) is one which many Christians do not understand or cannot see their way to achieving. It is fortunate that a writer with the skill of John Piper has taken it upon himself to rescue that state from cliché and erroneous usage. The book does not merely thoroughly cover the Biblical aspects, but moves easily on to the practicalities of achieving regeneration and its effect of improved spiritual life, but also on how to share with others, thus bringing both the joy and the responsibility.

    Cautionary note

    A Cautionary Note The souls regeneration, or being born again,? is inextricably linked to predestination. I believe that this doctrine is a two edged sword. I grew up being taught to pray for a new heart? so that I could believe and be saved. Implied was that regeneration was primary and something felt/ experienced so that one would know that he/ she was elect and could then confidently respond to the gospel offer. I suffered under this depressing delusion for many years and suffered major long-term depression because of it. I would recommend Matt Rogers Losing God (Intervarsity, 2008) as a similar case, and a study of what can happen. I am pleading for great care and gentleness in reviving this doctrine. Pastors and well-meaning brothers and sisters may well conclude that they or many of their fellow Christians are self-deceived, and this must be treated with the utmost delicacy. The doctrine of predestination, and the fact that we could never have acted faith without God working in us, are what JI Packer has called the family secret. It is also what Spurgeon described as what we learn when we enter the gate of salvation under the banner, Whosoever will, may come,only to look back at the gate through which we came and see, Predestined from before the foundation of the world.? When one is appreciative of the one thing needful, the enormity of this being cast into doubt can lead to serious clinical depression, causing needless suffering. Many have suffered on this road.
