Quotes about Rebirth

I wasn't a bad person who needed to become good...I was DEAD and needed to be brought to life! (Ephesians 2:1-10)

The Holy Spirit causes all the children of God to believe that God is their Father and fills them with an undying desire to talk to him.

When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.

Life is a flame that is always burning itself out; but it catches fire again every time a child is born. Life is greater than death, and hope than despair.

The born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful.

We believe that the first time we're born, as children, it's human life given to us; and when we accept Jesus as our Savior, it's a new life. That's what "born again" means.

She had been grief stricken as her father lay dying but now she felt weightless, the way people do when they're no longer sure they have a reason to be connected to this world.

She understood love. What destroys you saves you, she had told me.
