Most people hear the phrase "born again" and think it means "getting saved" or "going to heaven." But what if it’s bigger than that? What if being born again is about seeing life differently, stepping into purpose, and becoming who you were always meant to be?
Seeing the Kingdom: A New Way of Thinking
When Jesus told Nicodemus, "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3), He wasn’t talking about leaving this world and going to heaven. He was talking about perception—a new way of seeing and understanding life.
To be born again is to wake up to reality—to see beyond the limits of what you’ve been taught, beyond fear, past survival mode, and into something greater. It’s about recognizing that you were created for more.
Created with Purpose: The Original Design
From the very beginning, God’s intention for humanity was clear. In Genesis 1:26-28, He created mankind in His image and gave them five key assignments:
Be fruitful – Grow, develop, and produce something meaningful.
Multiply – Expand, increase, and pour into others.
Replenish – Restore, refresh, and bring life wherever you go.
Subdue – Take control of the things that try to control you.
Have dominion – Walk in authority and purpose.
This isn’t just about Adam and Eve; it’s about you. Being born again is about returning to this original blueprint—living with intention, walking in wisdom, and bringing order where there was once chaos.
The Process of Rebirth: Unlearning and Overcoming
Being born again isn’t just about starting something new; it’s also about letting go of the old.
Many of us inherit mindsets, habits, and generational patterns that work against us. Fear, self-doubt, anger, addictions, broken relationships—these things don’t just happen; they’re often passed down through families, communities, and cultures.
To step into new life, we have to unlearn destructive cycles. We must recognize, confront, and subdue the things that have held us back. This is part of the process—subduing what tries to control you so you can walk in dominion.
The Kingdom Within
The kingdom of God isn’t a distant place; it’s a way of living. It’s about realizing that you are already equipped with everything you need to thrive. Being born again is an invitation to see, grow, and become—to align with the life you were meant for.
Are you ready to step into it?
