What Did You Receive When You Got Born Again?

 

If you ask many Christians this question, most don’t have a clear answer. At best, they might say, “I gave my life to Christ and became born again.” But what else did they receive? Many cannot answer this, which raises the important question: what does it mean to be born again?—to not only receive salvation, but also a new nature, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the authority and inheritance that come with being a child of God.

It’s true that being born again is good news, but do we understand the full package included in it? Most Christians focus almost entirely on the message of sin—how to avoid sin and live a holy life. While this is valid and important for kingdom living, it is not the full picture.

I call the message of sin the “Egyptian” message. Pardon me for using that term, but it will soon make sense.

Before we became born again, we were in “Egypt”—a place ruled by sin. Sin was our master, and we had no power over it. But now we have entered “Canaan,” a place of freedom and victory. The constant message about sin only reminds us what we left behind—how not to live like an “Egyptian,” showing clearly that you must be born again to experience true freedom, victory, and a new life guided by God’s Spirit.

           

Am I saying we should stop preaching against sin? No! Absolutely not! The Bible instructs us not to live in sin after being born again. But here’s the key: there is much more in the Bible about living in Canaan—about the victorious, empowered lifestyle of a new creation—than there is about life in Egypt, showing how a born-again life can transform a man’s life, bringing freedom, purpose, and the power to live according to God’s design rather than being enslaved by sin.

SIN IS NOT THE PROBLEM OF A NEW CREATION MAN.

I know that statement may sound strange to some, but many Christians have a wrong understanding of who they are in Christ. Without knowing what we truly received when we became born again, living the lifestyle of the kingdom becomes difficult, and many end up living in a constant fear of not making heaven—focusing on uncertainty instead of embracing the freedom, authority, and identity God has already given them.

Understanding the total package of being born again is crucial for every New Testament Christian today.

So, let me ask you again: Do you really know what you received when you became born again?
