Jesus said I must be born again.  Once is not enough.  The first time I was born, I was born in the flesh.  The second time I am born, I am born in the spirit.  God is a Spirit, and He is the One who makes my spirit come alive.  That is why I call him Father.

Spiritual birth isn’t something I do.  Instead, it’s something that God does to me after I open my heart to his love.  God isn’t going to ask me to write an essay to find out if I really understand what I am doing.  He isn’t going to give me a multiple choice test asking me one-hundred questions on theology, and if I don’t score at least seventy percent, I don’t get to call him Father.  He won’t ask for a personal interview or references from religious people.  He won’t demand that I am perfect before I can have a relationship.  He won’t require that I don’t sin for three days in a row before it can happen.

God loves me unconditionally.  That means He loves me and accepts me the way I am.  He loves me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and it doesn’t get any better than that.  There are no preconditions to having a relationship with God.  As soon as I open my heart to his love and call him Father, He does the rest.
