I asked AI: What would it take to Make America Born Again?
It answered as follows (ChatGPT): To "Make America Born Again" in a spiritual sense, we must consider what Jesus and the Apostle John taught about being "born again."
WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
In John 3:3-7, Jesus tells Nicodemus:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Nicodemus asks how a person can be born again, and Jesus explains:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’"
Jesus teaches that being "born again" is a spiritual rebirth that comes from the Holy Spirit, not just a national or cultural change.
WHAT DID THE APOSTLE JOHN SAY?
John expands on this idea in his letters:
- 1 John 5:1 – "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God."
- 1 John 2:29 – "If you know that He is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him."
- 1 John 3:9 – "No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him."
For a nation like America to be "born again," it would require a widespread movement of repentance, faith in Jesus, and transformation by the Holy Spirit. This means individuals, families, churches, and leaders turning to God and living according to His Word.
