(I’m not sure where my post went from last night, so i’ll try again.)
The turning point for me in my faith was when I left home for college. At just 18 it was an opportunity to pursue God in a new city without the pressures of church attendance or approval from my peers and parents. In that moment I decided to get connected with a local church and prioritize a relationship with Jesus on my own.
I am forever grateful for the path I took and the opportunity to be born again, so that I could live forever in Christ and with Christ.
Here are a few verses that come to mind about being born again.
“Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.””
John 3:3 NLT
2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
Ephesians 2:4-5 NIV
