Born Again
Born Again is a term you may or may not have heard. It is not a new term, Jesus was the first to use it when he was talking to Nicodemus. If you are not familiar with the story, it is in the gospel of John, chapter three.
John 3:1-8:
1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.
2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’
8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Getting back to the original question and that is would you like to know Jesus and have a personal relationship with him?
There is nothing hard about starting your journey with Jesus, it's just a matter of saying a prayer and asking him to come into your heart.. ...
Paul explains it in Romans chapter 10 v9-10. I call this the TNT verse (10-9-10), because it so full of power. Here it is.
Romans 10: 9-10
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
There are no real groundbreaking mystical tricks to these verses, if you ask Jesus into your heart and life he will come in, but you have to ask. Jesus is a gentleman, he will not barge into your life, he only comes when he is invited.
If you say this prayer and mean it with your heart, you will be saved.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I ask you now to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior and help me live my life the way that I know I should.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAY THAT PRAYER
