## Resource

What does it mean to be born again? Does salvation secure our place in heaven, or is it the supernatural transformation of the human spirit? Too many believers receive Christ and then become stuck—never discovering the purpose, identity, and spiritual growth God intended for them. "In Born Again, What Now?", Duane Sheriff lays a biblical foundation for understanding what it truly means to be born again. Drawing on John 3 and Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, he explains the triune nature of humanity—spirit, soul, and body—and reveals that being born again refers specifically to the recreation of the human spirit. When we place our faith in Christ, our spirit is made new, declared righteous and holy, and united with the very Spirit of God. This truth is foundational to Christian growth. Like Nicodemus, many believers think only in natural terms, looking at their struggles, emotions, or imperfections and questioning whether they have truly become a new creation. Learn what changed when you were born again, why your spirit is the key to understanding your new identity, and how this truth equips you to grow into spiritual maturity.
