John 3:1-15

1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.

3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.

8The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it came, and where it goes: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.

9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

10Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a Teacher of Israel, and know not these things?

11Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak what we do know, and testify what we have seen; and you receive not our witness.

12If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Born again is born from above it is the work of GOD and the Holy Spirit.

Baptism is evidence that they already received the Spirit of GOD, born again.

1 Peter 1:3-4, 19

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,

19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

It is the work of the Holy Spirit, by His Spirit GOD brings us a new life, a second birth, GOD through His Spirit will do in you.

Romans 8:5

5Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

The person is not born again has not got the ability to live holy and righteous life. GOD is Holy, GOD hates sin. GOD transforms you and gives you a brand new nature. You have desire to obey Him, you want to do what’s right, you want to read Word of GOD, and you want to pray.

You die to old way of life, now have a new life.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” John 3:3.
