Being Born Again

A while ago my wife and I were eating lunch at a Christian camp and conference center. We sat down at a table with two couples we had never met before. During our conversation, I learned that they were staying in their motor homes in the RV Park and had sort of landed there by accident, not realizing it was a Christian camp. One of the ladies then asked me what was meant by the term “being born again.” When I asked each of them if they had ever trusted Christ (John 1:12), one lady said she was fortunate to have been a Christian all her life, as she grew up in a good home. When I shared how we are saved by God’s grace and there is nothing we can do (Eph. 2:8-9) the lady seemed to be blind to this truth. (Lou Nicholes - Author and Missionary).
