:The old is gone, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV).
I tell you the truth, being born again is the most wonderful experience that can ever happen to a creature. However most people have not fully understood it. Everything old about you gives way for the new, that is what being born again is all about. The rebirth of your spirit is instant and one time experience, but the rebirth of your soul is gradual and the most exciting. Your thinking process must experience a metamorphosis.
Change is the most exciting thing, yet difficult. When you change, you stand out, and the fortitude of your change is appreciated more in your resolve to withstand compromise in the face of persecution. Being born again is a universal concept that is relevant as much as a universal application. It goes beyond you believing you are going to heaven while others; to hell. Rather it is an avenue to bring heaven on earth, while you kick hell away from earth.
To be born again of the spirit you have to believe and confess the Saviour. But to have a mental rebirth, you have to feed your mind with food of knowledge- read, study, meditate and do critical thinking. Change is a life time experience, so don't be boring!
