Being born again means experiencing both a spiritual transformation and a covenant renewal through Jesus Christ. As we exercise faith, repent, and are baptized by water and the Spirit, we enter a new life as disciples, with changed hearts and a deeper commitment to follow Him.
Scripture
“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.”—John 3:3
Quote
“Through faith in Christ, we can be spiritually prepared and cleansed from sin, immersed in and saturated with His gospel, and purified and sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise.”—David A. Bednar

Living the Principle: Ye Must Be Born Again
Renew Your Commitments Daily: Each morning, recommit to following Christ by praying for strength to keep His commandments and serve others with love.
Seek the Power of the Holy Ghost: After partaking of the sacrament, take time to reflect on how the Spirit is guiding you and act on promptings that draw you closer to Christ.
Deepen Your Covenant Relationship in the Temple: Set a regular schedule for temple worship, and as you participate in sacred ordinances, seek personal revelation on how to become more like the Savior.
