In short
To be born again is to receive new spiritual life from God. Jesus said no one can see the kingdom of God without it. It means that when you trust Christ, God gives you a new heart and His Spirit, and you begin life over as His child.Being born again is not turning over a new leaf; it is receiving a new life. It is God's work, not ours, given the moment we trust Jesus. Old things pass away, and everything begins to become new.
You cannot engineer it, but you can ask for it, by coming to Christ.
