The term “born again” refers to spiritual birth (regeneration)---the Holy Spirit’s act of bringing believers into God’s family. Jesus used this concept of new birth when he explained salvation to Nicodemus (see John 3). This term is a wonderful metaphor of new life from God. You cannot be a Chrisian without a fresh beginning based on the salvation Christ brings. To be born again is a magnificent gift from God.--- Life Application Study Bible notes
