Be born again

Being-born again is not a magical process which changes you from an unsaved law-less person to someone who follows a set of religious rules and regulations which befitting a middle or upper-class gentleman or lady. Being truly born-again means that our inner philosophy, the inner conviction we are driven by is changed by the Holy Spirit who fills us with the love of God. This love is poured out by God’s Holy Spirit in our hearts when we surrender our lives to Christ in response to the gospel of God’s love, grace, mercy and forgiveness for us. This love then enables us to live in accordance with the Great Commandment of Jesus Christ. Sadly many self-confessed born again Christians are actually driven by other driving forces/motivations than the love of Christ. They may in truth be driven by idols such as a desire for status, respectability, success, control, influence, power, money, possessions, material security, being liked, being admired, being loved, sex and so on. No-one who is an idolater can be full of God and the love of God, for God is a Holy God and He does not share our hearts with idols.
