You Must Be Born Again

Tim Keller preaches on the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus found in John 3:1–21 at The Gospel Coalition’s 2019 National Conference.

Love this! I know that the moment I was born again wasn't the moment I started believing God existed (that was well before). It also wasn't the moment I fully understood the Gospel of salvation by grace alone (that was well after). It was when I suddenly saw my life and the world completely differently through the lens of Christ, and I made Christ my identity. That was it.

Pray for me, I want to be Born Again Christian 🙏🏻

1st video I watched, before ever opening a Bible, after being born again. Love. God.

[LawrenceB]

As a newly born again Christian so glad the Holy spirit lead me to this sermon, wow just wow Glory to God!

[albertlok]

Please pray that God will save me and not just being about skipping hell, and save me from being just religious and loving myself

Amazing Sermon! I took out few things:

1) The common thing is to get baptized and the Holy Spirit. But rarely heard about being Born Again. “Being Born again you get to SEE the kingdom of God” now, how would you know you are Born Again human?

(Born Again brings from heaven to earth like living if that make sense)

While you read the gospel, you will rarely get it or believe that’s the gospel. Get bored quickly (As it happened in my past) Now that you’re Born Again, your heart posture turns, like now God’s word make completely sense. You “feel” something as you read. That is God’s love to you!

Without this, you will seek all the attention from people, money, volunteering, self righteous for being the best or the most moral, or even family. You will seek to reach this or other people’s expectations of you. (That’s a pressure of itself) but your identity is received, not achieved. God is your Lord and your Father ♥️

I was saved by faith ALONE in Christ alone. Not by my good works or moral righteousness but by HIS imputed righteousness. God bless.

This is one of the best descriptions on being born again that I have heard in a long time!! Thank you--many pastors give various sermons on this subject and to me miss the mark. I say being born again is: having an "experience" from the Holy Spirit in your life and afterwards you are never quite the Glory goes to God

[mannyade]

I recently came to experience the person of GRACE after years of relying on self effort being a believer all my life and listening to this has confirmed I’m truly reinstated as a son more than ever before

[irenestoffer]

I experience the rebirth and I am a changed person, praise the lord.

[robertjasso]

Great message, bless Timothy Keller Lord. Heal him.

[jnwaasdorp]

Tim Keller is the best Biblical teacher in my opinion and I've listened to a lot of sermons old and new.

[MrMossie]

One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple” ( Psalms 27:4).

[michellebiland]

Thanks so much Tim. May Gospel in Life live on and may God continue to be glorified by Tim's preaching. ❤

[irenechoe]

"Boldness and humility that works together."

[myrticeharris]

Thank you so much for that marvelous teaching. It is truly an eye opener to being saved.

I was born again after/while listening to a Tim Keller sermon on Gods will for our life. Then later my husband had a born again experience with the Holy Spirit while listening to Tim Keller’s sermon on Romans 8:28 called “A Christians Happiness”.
God uses Tim in a supernatural way! Thank you God for your work in and through Tim Keller.

I was baptised hours after my birth just like my mother her mother and her mother.
Babies died more often then survived centuries ago and before during and after wars like the 1914 and 1939 wars so to make sure your baby saw Jesus Christ was to be baptised extremely as early as they could be.
Then last week Wednesday my Pastor came to tell me how I could become a Member of the church ( totally different to my childhood and parenthood too) as 7 years ago it was incorporated so I needed to go through some paperwork.
Now I had discussed what becoming a member entailed from other life long attending men and women and they didn’t understand where I was coming from?
It was all about the incorporation date, after that occurred people needed to ‘join’.
But then eventually he came to the fact that I had been baptised within 24 hours of my birth but that that was my parents choice for me not my own. I said I choice to be Confirmed some children in my class didn’t. So I wondered isn’t that when I accepted the Holy Spirit?
I wish my Pastor had listened to your sermon Tim it would have made more sense to me. He kept tiptoeing about the membership he kept forgetting his word to contact me over and over. So last Sunday I asked him to come and meet me at my ‘90’ yo friend (I did discuss if that suited her- we live in the same 25 home village here in Eltham Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 and I had watched her husband’s funeral on line 2 years ago and I had a strong feeling I should invite her to come with me when I would attend her church- I believed if this couple chose this church then it was the church for me. they had in fact looked for another church after what had made them want to leave their church).
I have been going to Our church for two years now and every Saturday evening I write a text with ‘Am I driving Miss Daisy tomorrow?’
Today with 39C pending after a 38C day and hot night she replied that she would attend via YouTube “WHAT “ wasn’t ready for that answer and I was listening to you and I have absolutely no hesitation about being baptised again. As the Irish would say ‘to be sure to be sure’.
I am sure. It isn’t the Pastor it is the the time Colleen and I spent each week together for our Bible Study 📖. Colleen gave me Arthur’s Bible 😮what an incredible gift to give me. Her husband’s daily Bible.
I receive Our Daily Bread as well. And signed up to Abide which along with Calm help me get a good nights rest.
Being baptised and having all my children and their children there will I pray 🙏 lead them to Jesus Christ our Saviour.
I thought that I could only be effectual at my own funeral with Gospel readings and songs.
I love my children and theirs so much I can’t imagine I won’t have them near me when I pass into God’s hands 🙌.
One daughter is so amazing raising 2 young men on the spectrum and her husband is also on the spectrum and she is the breadwinner and she is appreciated loved and respected by her fellow colleagues and so many other people she is connected too.
I keep believing that her life is spot on to what Jesus asks of us but now I know that that isn’t enough to see God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Who ever reads this I pray that you pray 🙏 and think about my Baptism and that I will see and know even more after that moment so I can be the person to lead my loved ones to God and Eternal Life.
God bless you all and have a safe and blessed day

Such a powerful and uplifting message! Thank you, Tim Keller, for reminding us of the transformative power of being born again. May everyone watching this find inspiration and strength in these words. Wishing all of you the very best in your journey of faith and life. Blessings to all! 🙏✨"

Thank You Jesus for shepherds under Your mighty hand that speak sermons like this one. Be born again only by the will of God & not our will. All glory to God alone.
