Regeneration is a subject which lies at the very basis of salvation, and we
should be very diligent to take heed that we really are "born again ," for
there are many who fancy they are, who are not…. being born in a
Christian land, and being recognized as professing the Christian religion is of no avail.

(C.H. Spurgeon)

Have you been born again, my friend,
I solemnly must ask,
it´s not which church you may attend
as your religious mask.

About their church so many talk
and sadly are deceived,
but do with Christ in truth you walk,
have you His word believed?

Has He your life completely changed?
Is your delight God´s word?
Are you to worldliness estranged
and by new passions stirred?

Have you for Jesus Christ stood up
against each evil sway?
O, are you drinking of His cup
of saving grace each day?     *)

I do not doubt that you are “nice”,
and what your vote will be,
but let me be still more concise,
has Christ your soul set free?

With Nicodemus heed the word,
“You must be born again!”      **)
Today you have again it heard,
don´t let it be in vain!

*)  Psa. 116:13

**)  John 3:7
