I feel that being born again is surrendering my life to God. It means total surrender,to desist from the flesh and become more in tune with Jesus. I also believe Jesus came to die for me,to reconcile me with God,that's where Rededication comes into place. Back to being Born again,It means dropping every weight and following Jesus only. Does that mean being born again makes me a saint? No! Because the righteousness of man is a filthy rag unto God, but sharing the righteousness of Jesus is what makes us acceptable to God.
When I understood everything stated above,that's when I truly became born again. In the past I had give my life to Christ and taken it back so many times:maybe I watched a Christian movie and felt so touched, because of that I gave my life to Christ or maybe I listened to a powerful sermon because of that I gave my life to Christ,as funny as it may sound most people may be like this. After understanding the true reason why I had to be born again,which is in my opinion :to escape destruction but foremost to be reconciled back to my father, then I gave my life to Christ.
I can't remember when or what even led to the transformation but it came from within,I can't explain what happened but I know it was a personal decision I made,no one is meant to push you into being born again,only you can. Life and death are in your hands,choose wisely.
After being born again, I found out I still committed some "little sins" like lying,keeping malice or even getting angry[when that happened I thought maybe I didn't give my life to Christ at all,or even if I did maybe I didn't do it properly.] Silly me.
Further down, I found out that those"little sins" where trials from the devil that I couldn't overcome, I also realized that failing didn't mean God has condemned me,rather that's where rededication comes in[This means lord I am sorry, I gave my life to you but somehow I left your presence, please take me back] So I gave my life to Christ and never turned back,anytime I faced a trial from the devil and failed I rededicated my Life back to Him. Rededication became a constant in my life. I have found out that no matter how hard I try, I still need Gods mercy to cleanse me always. Grace has become my life line. The single thread I hold on to. This is My New Birth Experience.
