Your mentality is reborn making you alive to the knowledge of God and gives you a perspective and desire to please him.

born from above

Umm.. John 3 is a good place to start
-
The great doctrine of regeneration.
-
That which is born of flesh is flesh, that which is born of spirit is spirit. You must be born again, or you cannot see the kingdom of heaven. You cannot make yourself be born again, it is from God.
-
Born-again means, re-adopted into the family of God.
-
The question is who born you again? It is offensive to some, and to some who realy tasted it, on bended knees praising God. The advocates of free will says self, the Gospel say it is a nupernatural work of God.

What he told Nicodemus. Done.

Being “born again” is an experience when everything a person has been taught and after accepting Christ – what he has done and who He is-. To believers God becomes real, and they develop a direct and personal relationship with God. It’s a whole belief in who Jesus is and what He came to do and accepting it in faith.
-
The greatest apostasy in today’s evangelicalism is the belief that every person can born again himself apart from the supernatural work of God through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

When you believe AND CONVERT

The best answer is probably found in the use of the old word “quicken”. Webster’s 1828 – 1. Primarily, to make alive; to vivify; to revive or resuscitate, as from death or an inanimate state. Romans 4:17.
Hence flocks and herds, and men and beasts and fowls, with breath are quicken’d and attract their souls.
2. To make alive in a spiritual sense; to communicate a principle of grace to.
You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Ephesians 2:1.

Dead to self..Alive in Christ Jesus..To be more Like Christ..

Spiritual birth

John 3:3-8 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot 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, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. -
Die to self, pick your cross and deny yourself, rebirth of the dead spirit.
-
In reality none of us can born again.. but the Messiah is born again into us is the Amazing expansion Plan of Heaven fulfilled. ??

Here’s a good explanation.
Compare being born again in the spirit to the time you were born as a baby. When you were born, you had a hunger for milk. As you grew, your hunger increased. You no longer desired milk but solid food. As you advanced in age, you became as everyone else, sinful in everyway.
When the Holy Spirit entered you, your spirit (which has been dead) became alive again. You began to hunger for God’s word, and you began to hunger for communion with God. As you grew in the spirit, you no longer desired spiritual milk, but solid spiritual food. You began to seek His presence even more, you began to understand things you couldn’t before. As you continued to grow in the spirit, you developed godly desires. You developed a hatred for sin, and a love for righteousness.
