years ago, under the cover of night, one of the most important conversations
in all of Scripture took place between Jesus and a Pharisee named Nicodemus.
And it was Jesus Himself who first used the term "born again" in that very
conversation. So we have no qualms about saying that perhaps the most important
words a person can ever proclaim concerning their spiritual condition are
these: I am BORN AGAIN. So why is so critical a term so misused, misunderstood
and difficult to define?
This
two-part program clarifies what "born again" really is, and is just as
important for believers as it is for the skeptical, non-believing world
at large.

You
may notice from time to time that the more critical the doctrine is in
the Word Pictures series, the more in-depth the actual series is.
So,
in a natural continuation of the "Born Again" program, "The New Birth"
show expounds on the essence and definition of this radical spiritual transformation
Jesus called being "born again".
The
process of the new, or "spiritual" birth, is discussed here in a way that
helps add shape and meaning to a Biblical term that even professing CHRISTIANS,
at times, have great difficulty in defining.

Since
even Nicodemus, a ruling religious leader of Jesus' day, needed a complete,
specific explanation of what "born again" really means, those of us in
the 21st century modern church can DEFINITELY use a good, hard-hitting
"self-examination" on the subject. The New Testament is packed with different
signs, or "marks", of a truly born again person. And (in light of the fact
that our eternal destiny weighs in the balance over the issue of whether
we've been born again or not...) it's obviously a good idea to check those
"signs" or "marks" against our own lives, to see if we're "on the right
path" to heaven. Using a beautiful nature trail in Sedona, Arizona, as
a visual allegory, the evident proofs, or "marks" that someone HAS truly
been born again, are explained.

A
warm fireplace is the perfect place to be when you have to have one of
those personal, heart-to-heart talks with someone. And so it was the perfect
backdrop for this final portion of the series. But be forewarned: this
is no casual "fireside chat". It is a serious conversation meant for each
and every viewer - personally. Using a detailed expansion of the more general
points in the previous seven shows, this one-on-one encounter helps give
each viewer a very tangible way to "examine themselves to see whether they
are in the faith" - whether he or she is REALLY "born again". It is without
a doubt the most important self-examination ANY person will ever experience.

HOW GOD CONVERTS THE HUMAN SOUL
(14
Parts)

Oh,
it is a valuable, valuable thing…(a thing beyond words)…to be found "in
Christ". It speaks of a vital, spiritual union with the Lord of Creation
that Jesus himself described as being "born again". And only those who
have such a union (in Jesus' words) "will see the kingdom of heaven."
But
how does this "vital union" with Christ take place? Is it initiated by
God or man? Exactly how does God convert the human soul? This 14-part series
discusses the answers that scripture gives to those eternally important
questions.
