To be born again isn’t just to change your mind about how you’re living, it’s to be born again the second time. The first time you were born by your father and mother, when you’re born again, you’re born by God through His Spirit and His word.
You were born by your parents with a sinful and corrupted nature: that sinful nature is the reason why you sin and are called a sinner; you cannot get into the kingdom of God with that nature. It’s defiled, and nothing defiled will enter the kingdom of God.
When a person is born again, that person becomes a new person with a new nature that’s righteous and holy. That person becomes like God, that’s why he’s called a child of God! There’s no miracle greater than being born again, and there’s no greater life-changing experience.
If you’re not born again today is the day that you must be born again. Be sorry for your sins; believe and declare that Jesus is the Son of God and that God sent Him to die for your sins; confess with your mouth that Jesus is now the Lord of your life. If you just did that, congratulations! You’re now born again and saved. Talk to someone about it for further guidance. God bless you.
