TEXT: Isa.55:7 "Let the wiicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
retum untot the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

KEY VERSE: John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
he born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God "

The first evidence of being born again is that you will stop living a sinful life.

The Bible sayd
"We know that whosoever is bom of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and
that wicked one toucheth him not."
I John 5:18.

lf you profess to be born again, and you are still living in wilful sin, whether small or big sin you are not
truly or completely born again, you still need to surrender your sins and give your life to Jesus Christ,
because to be born again, you have to surrender all your sins and turn away from them all.

By surrendering
in part, you will only end up still making yourself a sinner.

The Bible says, "And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever
sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." I John 3:5-6.

The second evidence of the new birth is the destructions of every link to sin and unrighteousness.

Anyone
who is truly born again will hate all his or her previous sinful lifestyle, and start a deliberate separation
from all appearance of evil.

The Bible says Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1Thess.5:22.

"So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:33

As many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used
curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the
price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver."
Acts 19:18-19.

The third evidence is that you have to start making restitution of your past sins where necessary.

Many people today claim to have repented and born again without making any restitution of their past sins.

This is
an incomplete repentance; because one of the evidence of true repentance is your obedience to the call to
restore what you have robbed back to the rightful owners.

When a man is saved he will confess and restore if
he has robbed.

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that
which is lawful:
and right; If the wicked restore the
pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the
statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die." Ezekiel 33: 14-15.

The fourth evidence is that you must have to cut off all worldly friendships and companions, so that it
will not lead you or take you back to sin, for friendship of the world is enmity with God.

Ye Adulterers and adulteresses, know ye
not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?

Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him."
1 John 2:5
