When Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be born again"?, the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what Jesus meant. It would seem nothing has changed. The term 'born again' has been devalued both in society and in the church. Those claiming to be 'born again' live lives that are indistinguishable from those who don't; 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 Christians very differently. John Piper defines new birth biblically and helps us to embrace the reality of it.
"Classic Piper - crystal clear exposition and a must read."
- Alistair Begg, Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Chagrin Falls, Ohio
"Every awakening begins with the renewed discovery of Christ's teaching on the new birth. Here is that amazing teaching in lucid yet comprehensive form; with a relevance to readers worldwide."
- Iain Murray, Co-Founder of Banner of Truth, Edinburgh, Scotland
