## Resource

What does it really mean to be born again? If we became a new creation in Christ, why do we still struggle with old thoughts, temptations, and weaknesses? Duane Sheriff explains, "When you get born again, you don't get a new body. You don't get a new soul or your mind, will, and emotions. You get a brand new spirit, and you're born of the Spirit." In Episode 2 of "Born Again, What Now?", Duane explores what Jesus meant when He told Nicodemus that we must be born of water and the Spirit. Drawing from John 3, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, and other key passages, he explains that salvation is the supernatural recreation of the human spirit. God removes our old, dead spirit and gives us a brand-new spirit, filled with His life and nature. 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares that those who are in Christ are new creations. Discover what actually changed when you were born again, why understanding spirit, soul, and body is essential to spiritual growth, and how this foundational truth helps believers move from spiritual infancy to maturity in Christ.
