We are new in Jesus, born again to live holy and righteous lives. Those who are overcomers are the ones born of God. The ones who have had their very nature changed. We were once like the world and not only lived in the world, but lived like the world. We were ungodly and evil, but Christ changed us. That is what it means to be born of God, we are different.
