Being born again comes not through deciding to follow Christ but by receiving Christ.
We receive Him when we realize we are weak and broken and cannot live up to the Commandments, morals, and principles of God.
We become born-again by receiving him.
Only he can enable us to follow.
We must realize our poverty and inability to live the Christian life.
Only by receiving Christ can we be enabled.
Jesus will bring you to the end of yourself. Just as he brought the disciples to the point of abandoning him in running away.
Then they realized how weak they were ,and were able to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Matt.5:3
