Ever one knows the story of Nicodemus At John 3:3 when Jesus asked him the question about Being born again ? Man’s Part: Six Primary Steps, what are they? What steps are required on the part of prospective disciples before Jehovah would consider them for spiritual sonship? There are six distinct steps that these must take. But let it be noted that God requires these same things of all who would become true Christians and gain salvation, whether their eventual reward will be a heavenly one or an earthly one. To begin with, such persons must take in accurate knowledge about Jehovah God, their Creator and Life-Giver, and about his Son, Jesus Christ, their Savior and Redeemer. (Psalm 36:9; 100:3; Matthew 20:28; Romans 10:13-15) In Jesus’ prayer to God on his last night on earth as a man, he stressed the importance of this step, saying: “This means everlasting life, their taking in[1] knowledge of you the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3. However, knowledge of itself is not enough. A person must exercise faith[2], even as we read: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” Yes, as the apostle Paul so clearly shows, “without faith it is impossible to please [God] well.” This faith regards God’s promises as a reality, as good as fulfilled. It is more than mere belief, for we are reminded by the disciple James that even the demons believe and yet shudder, and, further, that “faith without[3] works is dead.”—John 3:16; Hebrews 11:1, 6; James 2:19, 26. So now we have three Bible based question, on what is needed.
