Born Again to be a Disciple
To become a church member, you must first become a disciple of Jesus, which requires you to have a relationship with God and follow Him wholeheartedly. This means turning away from life on your terms and being born again. Jesus introduced the concept of being born again in an encounter with Nicodemus – one of the religious leaders of his day. He explained to Nicodemus that in order to be saved, he needed a completely fresh start. And it is the same for us – we need to set aside our own ideas and worldview and allow Jesus to transform us.
