What does is really mean to be born again, to become a new person in Christ?

This means, that anyone who has accepted Christ, as their Lord and Savior, belongs to Him, and has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! You forget the former things; and do not dwell on the past, you have accepted a new way of life; the things you used to do, you do no more, and the places you used to go, you go no more. For Jesus said, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh, for very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” Praise the Lord!
