How do I know that I have been born again?

How do you know you have been born again? The only way to really know is to take God at His Word. To cling to His promises. He says that you are born again when you are baptized into Christ. He says "Whoever eats of my flesh and drinks of my blood has eternal life." So we receive these gifts from Him, and we believe. Why do we believe? Because the Holy Spirit also provides the gift of faith. Is our faith weak? It is okay, our assurance isn't in our own faith. It is in His.


Galatians 3:26: "For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.n 28There is no longer Jew or Gentile,o slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true childrenp of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you."

John 6:54: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." and that, the assurance and conviction, isn't my work at all. It is a gift. "And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee" (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22)

Ephesians 2:8: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God."
