So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Galatians NIV

Born Again (the exact words) are only mentioned 3 times in the King James Version.
Meaning: A person converted to personal faith in Christ.
Born ... Again? How, What, Where? hmm ... I have heard the words Born Again over the years and had no idea! But what do they truly mean? Do we use these two words to mean multiple things?? Do we say the sinner’s prayer? Do we get Baptized? Do pray? So many options? Sometimes things can be so confusing?
I can only share my experience and thoughts...
As we pointed out in previous studies we are born with a body, soul, and spirit. That said, probably the best visual I can share about being Born Again is the following. Picture a pilot light that resides deep within us. It sits their dormant as we move through life. And then one day when you least expect it... the Holy Spirit will breathe his Holy breath on our wick and heat the embers to a beautiful glow.
As your spirit awakens. You will feel an unexplainable warmth deep in your soul. From that moment your life will take on new meaning. You will have a new sense of purpose. Your senses will become heightened. You will start seeing things in our world in a new light. The things around you will become beautiful. You will hear birds singing, you will see the beauty in the vibrant colors of the delicate flower. You will feel new-found freedom in your soul. Your lungs will inhale the sweetness of life. You will taste life like never before. You will find a burning desire to learn more about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And as your confidence grows and you discover the depths of Trinity’s LOVE.
You will feel the need to share this Amazing LOVE with the world and the people around you. So, to sum it up, Born Again is our souls’ response to the Holy Spirit's call to awaken our very spirit. The essence of who we truly are will spill out for the world to see. Lighting the path for others to find their way home.
The Trinity will place you in the state of WOW

The term “born again” refers to a new beginning in the relationship between God and the person who is born again.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 Peter 1:23 Born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
John 3:3-7 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!" ⁵Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. ⁶Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. ⁷You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.

The Baptism of Jesus
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.”Then John consented.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him, I am well pleased.”
