Yes that is right.
In the gospel of John chapter 3 Nicodemus came and talked with Jesus. As a Jew, Nicodemus had been looking for a Messiah to come and free Israel from the bondage of Rome. Nicodemus longed for the time when the Messiah would set up His kingdom on earth, when the Jewish people would be chief among the nations, and when all their enemies would be destroyed. Now the Lord informed Nicodemus that in order to enter this kingdom, a man must be born again. Just as the first birth is necessary for physical life, so a second birth, a spiritual rebirth, is necessary for divine life.In other words, Christ's kingdom can only be entered by those whose lives have been changed. Since His reign will be a righteous one, His subjects must be righteous also. He could not reign over people who were going on in their sins.

What is born again?
You are not the first to ask this question, in fact the Jewish ruler, Nicodemus asked Jesus the same question in John 3:4.

Jesus' response agrees with the Prophet Ezekiel's prophecy in Ezekiel 36:24-26 If you are asking what it is to be born again, chances are you are not yet born again, and as Jesus said to Nicodemus, I am telling you too: You MUST be born again if you want to see the kingdom of God. To be born again is simple.Just follow the instructions in Romans 10:9 by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth that : "Jesus is the Lord of my life" For further advise and instruction on this new life, I recommend you locate the Christ embassy church nearest to you or ask me your questions at kofidennis2001@yahoo.fr God bless you.

Was Elizabeth Edwards a Christian?
The Bible says in John 3:3 Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]" As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, "'I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.' 'How can a man be born when he is old?' Nicodemus asked. 'Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!' Jesus answered, 'I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again'" (John 3:3-7). The phrase "born again" literally means "born from above." Nicodemus had a real need. He needed a change of his heart-a spiritual transformation. New birth, being born again, is an act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the person who believes (2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4, 18). John 1:12,13 indicates that "born again" also carries the idea "to become children of God" through trust in the name of Jesus Christ. I guess it would depend on if she was born again.
What is the best gospel to read when you are born again?
A:Undoubtedly for a born-again Christian, John's Gospel is the best gospel to study, as this explains the origins of the term 'born again'.In Jesus' meeting with the Pharisee, Nicodemus, he told him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born anothen, he can not see the kingdom of heaven." Nicodemus understood this Greek word to mean 'again'. This is one meaning it can have, but it can also mean 'from above', a fact that John's Greek-speaking readers would have understood. And so Nicodemus asked, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?' Nicodemus only understood the surface meaning of anothen - 'again'. Jesus invalidated this when he then said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 'You must be born anothen'."We may know the nuances of the original Greek, but they do not work in the English translation. Anothen must be written in English either as 'again' or as 'from above'.The King James Version, like most English Bibles, has Jesus say, 'born again'. On the other hand, the New American Bible has Jesus say, 'born from above'. Either way, some of the meaning is lost. Even when translated into Aramaic, the language that Jesus would have spoken, the same dilemma exists.Most translators now recognise that the appropriate English equivalent for the second anothen is "from above", since the preceding statement says, "What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit". Consequently, Jesus would no doubt have meant "from above" throughout the conversation.
