What must i do if i want to become a born again Christian?
Becoming a born again christian( a new born baby) is very simple. You just need to say this prayer: "God, I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness—the gift of eternal life! Amen!". At that very moment you said Amen you have diet to yourself and are transformed into a new born baby. Or you can go to your church and ask the Pastor to pray with you.
You have to underatand that now you have awakened the spirit that God poured in your heart. Remember that now the holy spirit is your helper he is the one that will guide and lead you according to the purpose of God. As it is said in ( Ephesians 1:11 " all things are done according to God's plan and decision; and God chose us to be his own people in union with Christ because of his own perpose")
Now that you have been born again do not continue to sin, sin no longer has power over you, as it is said in (Romans 6:6-7 "And we know that our old being has been put to death with Christ on the gross, in order that the power of the sinful self might be destroyed, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin. For when people die, they are set free from the power of sin".
(Colossians 3:5-10 you must put to death, then, the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust,evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry). Because of such things God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. At one time you yourselves used to live according to such desires, when your life was dominated by them.
But now you must get rid of all those things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips. Do not lie to one another, for you have taken off the old self with its habits and have put on a new self. This is the being which God is its creator, and is constantly renewing in his own image, in order to bring you to a full knowledge of himself.
