<transcy>Finally Alive. (Enfin la vraie vie!) </transcy>
When Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be born again," the pious and learned religious leader was not sure he understood what Jesus meant. It looks like nothing has changed.
The term "born again" has been devalued in the Church. Those who claim to be born again live lives that are indistinguishable from those of others; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covet the same, do almost everything the same.
Being 'born again' is now defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament, however, defines this term very differently.
“When Jesus said to Nicodemus, 'You must be born again' (John 3: 7), he was not sharing interesting and unimportant information. He was leading him to eternal life ... If he is doing this for you (or if he has already done it), then you are (or will be) really, invincibly, finally alive. »
